Thanks for so many people coming to the first Vanguard Monthly Forum
Just providing a summary of what was discussed below, several subjects were raised, so feel free to contact the relevant POC about them if you have some feedback on them :slight_smile:
2. Went over what the Vanguard's Monthly Forum is – a place to gather feedback/suggestions from all members on upcoming VNGD policy and events.
3. Quickly covered the recent VNGD announcements:
- Most were already summarised:
see https://discord.com/channels/491511591402209281/493949024416563210/818272152150736947
-TehHazy was banned from vanguard due to a long history of infringing on discord and Vanguard policy
-If you're interested in supporting onboarding, please reach out to take the onboarding certification.
4. @⟪✶✶⟫ ZZGooch gave an extensive overview of “Logistics Nights,” be sure to DM him with your feedback on this (see his detailed documentation on them here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HBE6L_c407WcxXnwV_suLOmM5S-GOCg-REUOdOFO_Sg/edit?usp=sharing)
5. Intel group update from @⟪✦⟫ Hohh20
- The intel group would like to call upon ALL members of Vanguard to gather and submit any intel you come across to the Intel group. They want any and all Intel, whether it is from outside or inside the org. For now, we ask that you directly and privately message x3nthos or Hohh20 with the discovery, but in the future, we will have a submission system where you can upload the data. All submissions will, of course, be kept confidential. They would like to announce that we are searching for VNGD members to join us as Intel Agents. There is no rank or wing requirement to join. We only ask that you show us you are interested in taking an active role in finding and submitting intel, and then we may reach out to you with an invite.
6. @⟪★★⟫ Viking66A gave an initial overview of the Officers Academy [which is work in progress]:
- Consists of an officer training course, where wing leadership will select potential candidates, and a command committee will decide whether they can be approved to enter the training program.
- Officer training course will take 3-6 months; feedback will be given throughout the process.
- Decision on whether they are suitable or not will come at the end of the course; if they are suitable, they will enter an
officer pool (and wait for an available position)
- Just initial overview which is being fleshed out, Contact @⟪★★⟫ Viking66A for ideas or concerns relating to this…
7. VNGD Forum
- The VNGD Forum is open for questions by those that cannot attend; they can submit on the website forum, a post will be opened
a week before the next forum for any questions to be raised.
- Minutes will be provided for those that could not attend.
- @=\ · /= RandiRose discussed onboarding:
o While people are learning the process, they can start sending the initial greeting message to new arrivals
o, Be mindful of too many people in onboarding freaking the new guys out…
o Command will look into a way to give enlisted powers to approve onboardings on the website (depends on what privileges
that requires whether that will be possible).
8. Closing Words
- I just want to thank everyone for coming
