- The Key Spouse is typically a spouse with
a strong background in AF issues and concerns;
they help establish guidelines for working with
the unit’s command section and support
staff. The Key Spouse meets with unit leadership
and unit spouses, monthly (as needed) to discuss
concerns and issues of unit family members.
Training
- After Key Spouses are appointed by the commander
they receive initial, formal training which
includes a continuity binder, certificate, Key
Spouse pin. If training is not immediately available
then the modules (under Resources to the right)
are completed and Key Spouse meets one-on-one
for individual training. At this time, the Key
Spouse provides contact information and is added
to the Key Spouse e-mail distribution list.
Key Spouse Meeting
- Key Spouse meetings are held to provide Key
Spouses a chance to network with other organizational
Key Spouses. In addition, subject matter experts
are asked to present information and the Key
Spouses in turn share this information with
unit spouses.
Spouse it up
- Spouse It Up is an event that allows spouses
and children to get out of the house, meet other
spouses and children, and enjoy a meal together.
Spouse it Up normally begins at 10:30 AM and
the location will depend on the theme (Bowling,
Bingo in the Community Center, BBQ in Area D,
etc.).
