POCA Mentoring


	CPOA President's Outstanding Chapter Award – Mentoring
	Mentoring CPOA chapters – use the following procedure and contacts to develop your own CPOA President's Outstanding Chapter Award (POCA) application. Get the recognition your chapter deserves! POCA - Annual Award Procedure Copy/print point system and award criteria– from CPOA Operations Manual Section VI, Para. 2. http://www.uscgcpoa.org/4-all_hands/4-all_hands_index.htm Establish a POCA application committee so that Secretary does not develop this important document alone. Begin early – if 01 JUL is first day of 1-year qualification period, then begin on 01 JUL to plan activities and assemble documentation. Use point system and award criteria as outline for POCA application. Organize tabs according to this outline into a POCA application binder. Assemble (throughout the year) supporting documentation behind each tab of POCA application binder. Documentation can include copies of The Chief magazine articles; newsletters; flyers; thank you letters; photos; copies of donation checks; CPOA Convention rosters of chapter delegates; Website printouts; Silver Life Time Member lists from The Chief; meeting agendas/minutes. Impact statements must explain supporting documentation. Remember – presentation can be as important as content, so make it easy to read and attractive.
