Bulletin 423 for Release 3/25/96
This and other bulletins are in response to the many queries
seeking help. Often the best answer is to ask questions which
helps the caller find the answers within their own knowledge.
Examples:
Is the "RACES" or "ARES" function supplied by a local club?
If so, to what extent is the club involved in the selection
and appointment of the person who works with the local
government agency?
Did the government or other agency coordinator have a say in
who was appointed to that position or was that dictated by
the local structure or club?
Has the local structure ever terminated an appointee for any
reason? What and why? If not, why not?
Does the local structure select (or assist in the selection of)
the unit RACES radio officer or ARES EC based on competency in
management or ability to work closely with paid government or
agency staff?
Is the local structure essentially "political" in that who knows
whom is the criteria for appointments, rather than management,
coordination and interpersonal skills?
What other titles does the RACES Radio Officer have? Whoever that
person is, how much time each week is spent IN (repeat, IN) the
local jurisdictions emergency management agency?
Questions like these help get the caller to think about what is
taking place in their unit. Questions that probe the situation
help determine a direction, a focus, an attitude, alternatives,
or just a different perspective. There are no absolutes, no
guaranteed solutions in questions, but they serve as a good
stimulator.
