ARCON 2011- Thanks for coming!

To everyone who came to ARCON aka VULCON this year, thank you so much! I hope you all learned a few things, got some ideas for your chapters to try, met some new friends, and learned more about Silver Wings as a whole organization. Please remember to try to work on Recruiting and possibly having a Spring Rush for Silver Wings, as well as ALWAYS fundraising. This will help your chapter to grow and you will be able to do more with more funds. I hope to see all of you at NATCON in Detroit/Canada in April! As always, let me know if you have any questions!

-Kelsey Hendrix, Region V President

The Mission of Silver Wings

Silver Wings’predecessor organization,Angel Flight,had a specific objective of supporting the mission of Arnold Air Society. While this is no longer explicitly stated,Silver Wings remains committed to developing strong civilian leaders with an understanding of aerospace power–and obviously,the continuing partnership between AAS and SW is critical to building this understanding.

As specified in the Silver Wings National Constitution,Silver Wings (SW) is a national,co-ed,professional organization dedicated to creating proactive,knowledgeable,and effective civic leaders through community service and education about national defense. This mission includes the following interrelated objectives:

Personal Development of Individual Members:: Local chapter activities and projects provide character growth through service to the community,which enables the individual member to develop a sense of purpose within and a responsibility to the local community.
Professional Development of Individual Members:: Local chapter activities and the national organizational structure provide members with leadership opportunities and the chance to develop professional skills. These include,but are not limited to oral/written communication,public speaking,and project planning and execution.
Civic Awareness:: Exposure to Air Force issues and personnel enables members to develop a personal awareness of aerospace power and the role that it plays in the national defense. The leadership and skills development objectives are enhanced by opportunities for members to actively promote aerospace issues in the community through educational programs,seminars,public relations activities,and voter awareness projects.

While Arnold Air Society and Silver Wings are separate organizations,our strong partnership is based on highly complementary missions. The focus of the Arnold Air Society mission is to build strong officers for the United States Air Force. Silver Wings also focuses on leadership development,and both organizations work together to further each others’goals.
