Purpose
Cadet Advisory Councils have three main purposes:
- To provide an organization where cadets gain leadership experience at higher organizational levels;
- Aid the commanders in monitoring and implementing the Cadet Program;
- Make recommendations for improving and running the Cadet Program.
Mission
The mission of the National Cadet Advisory Council (NCAC) is to identify fresh new ideas that will enhance and improve every cadet's experience through articulation of ideas and thoughts surrounding the development of cadets in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program.
Composition of the Council
The council is composed of three elected offices, the eight region council representatives and their alternate representatives.
Consideration of Ideas
The NCAC considers ideas that are brought forth as new business during regular meetings of the Council.
Implementation of Ideas
Implementation of NCAC ideas is through one of three paths. Determination of which implementation path will depend upon the level and complexity of the idea under consideration. The three paths are:
- Executive order by the National Commander,
- Agenda item approval by the National Executive Committee and/or National Board, or
- Direct implementation by the corporate team.
