Getting Involved

While the CAC is in session, cadets can contact their squadron’s Group CAC (GCAC) representative to ask questions, present ideas, or provide feedback. This information will then be considered within the GCAC and potentially sent up to Wing CAC (WCAC) through the GCAC representatives. 

Applications to be an officer on the WCAC are posted around August. However, GCAC Squadron representatives and officers are selected at their respective levels, so make sure to check in with your Squadron and Group Commanders for more information on how to get involved.
