CMP offers challenges, opportunities
 My
primary role as a Writer and Editor for Chief Military Personnel
was Managing Editor of the monthly tabloid Canadian
Forces Personnel Newsletter.
This bilingual Government of Canada publica-
tion, now stood down, covered
CF human resource issues such as career management, employment equity, health care, pension amendments, insurance coverage, recruiting, conflict management, IM, and others,
and featured articles of general interest to CF personnel.
I edited various CMP and other publications
and products, and provided copy for media such as the Government of Canada online news
service
D-NEWS, which is accessed by CF base, wing and formation newspapers throughout Canada.
As well, I was responsible for the content (text and photos/graphics), page creation and upload, and maintenance of CFPN Online, and provided content for several other Defence websites.
From August 2006 through September 2007, I also
designed and laid out the newsletter and designed other CMP
products such as programs, posters and a special insert to
The Maple Leaf.
And because I was attached to a Public Affairs
section, I wrote press releases, media response lines and
other public affairs products, and created information tools
such as PowerPoint presentations.
