Goals 1. Support SQ Leaders 2. Maximize use of FSS Facilities 3. Measure Impact 4. Provide maximum flexibility to SQ commanders Program Development 1. Ready to Execute (RTE): FSS Related events should be considered first as they are pre-approved and easy to implement. This also keeps funds on the installation.

3. Volunteer/Free: Charitable work provides a cost-effective team building activity that allows co-workers to see each other in a new light and can make a real difference in your community. Free events do not need approval, but information still needs to be captured.
