Hello candidates,

Over the last few elections and in this one too the discussion of member experience and retention has been brought up, quite often in regards to new members. With this in mind and considering not only my real life work issues and experience this term but also the recent post in command by a returning member I have the following questions:

1) What to you is the “stf member experience.”
2) When does a member cease being a new member after a year, a month what?
3) What specific actions do you have planned which you think will increase member retention and is this in general or geared towards existing or prospective members, if geared why that particular group?
4) How would you support a member hit with real life issues that impacts posting etc as a) a cadet, b) a Main ship JO, c) a DH, d) an XO or CO (with a member retention hat on)

I may ask follow up questions based on your responses.

Thank you in advance

Cale
