*** Surface Warships 2012:

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets

In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world's surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world's main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.

*** The Surface Navy Association (SNA) Scholarship program is an annual activity that SNA is very proud to offer to our members’ dependent children and spouses for undergraduate and graduate education. The academic achievements of our scholars are impressive and our current year’s renewal GPA (for those asking for a second through fourth year of support) was 3.64.

An SNA Scholar receives an academic scholarship based on demonstrated leadership, community service, academic achievement and commitment to pursuing higher educational objectives. Our criteria require that an applicant be a child, stepchild, ward or spouse of a current SNA member who is a Surface Warfare Officer or Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist or Officers and Enlisted members of the Coast Guard who’ve earned a permanent Cutterman’s pin, with three years of sea time.

With humble beginnings in 1995, with one scholarship for $500, we now award over $120,000 per year to 60 total individuals. In fact, since 2002 we have provided nearly three quarters of a million dollars in scholarship support to our members and families.

This past year, SNA received over 50 applications and was able to award scholarships to 17 of these outstanding new applicants. With your help, we can continue to grow this exceptional program. SNA is currently accepting donations for the scholarship fund online at:

https://www.navysna.org/SNA/ScholarshipCCDonation.asp

The Surface Navy Association greatly values any donation and all donations are tax deductible as SNA is a 501(c) 3 organization. As an example of the financial clout we can have together, if every member gave just $25, it would be enough to award over 20 fully-funded new scholarships. This is an important way for us to invest in the futures of the families of our nation’s Surface Warriors.

*** Youth Communication – United States

This non-profit youth development program is designed to help teenagers in New York City, in the United States (US), develop their reading and writing skills so they can acquire the information they need to make thoughtful choices about their lives. For example, the program trains teens in journalism and related skills. The majority of participants are African-American, Latino, or Asian; they work under the direction of several full-time adult editors. Story ideas are proposed and discussed in group meetings and also in one-on-one meetings between writers and the adult editors. To complete their stories, students must successfully perform a wide range of activities, including writing and rewriting, reading, discussion, reflection, research, interviewing, and typing. They learn to read subway maps, verify facts, and meet deadlines.

*** Help the needy:

Many hard-working people from one of America's largest employers have found themselves down on their luck this holiday season. Some are wondering just where their next meal is coming from.

*** Got a personal problem?

Hey, who doesn’t.

That’s why JOTW has in the past offered the advice of our own Pontoof, the pontificator.

Well, it appears that Pontoof is once again reaching out to sad souls deeply immersed into delicate situations that require a discrete and sensitive analysis and response.

If you are tired, angry, desperate, lonely, loved, wanting love, remorseful, resourceful or you just need a sounding board, you've come to the right place. Here you can (and will) double your sorrows, halve your joys. Bring all problems to Pontoof, an imaginary friend in these times of imagined woes.

Find out your future. Erase your self-doubt! Let Pontoof do the doubting for you! Send your problems of an extremely sensitive and personal nature and he will send to Pontoof, who will ponder your predicament and then pose a superlative solution. Use an alias. Or we’ll assign an anonymous identity for you. Ned is very discrete, and if Pontoof doesn’t know who you really are, then it’s all good. Pontoof’s advice will be shared in the JOTW newsletter.

Pontoof's Podium of Pontification appears in Ned's Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for professional communicators. You may subscribe for free by sending a blank e-mail to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.

Like JOTW and the other really good things in life, Pontoof’s pointed advice is free.

*** Surface Warships 2012

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world's surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world's main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.

*** Surface Warships 2012:

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets

In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world's surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world's main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.

23 – 25 January, 2012, Hyatt Regency, Paris, France

*** The Surface Navy Association (SNA) Scholarship program is an annual activity that SNA is very proud to offer to our members’ dependent children and spouses for undergraduate and graduate education. The academic achievements of our scholars are impressive and our current year’s renewal GPA (for those asking for a second through fourth year of support) was 3.64.

An SNA Scholar receives an academic scholarship based on demonstrated leadership, community service, academic achievement and commitment to pursuing higher educational objectives. Our criteria require that an applicant be a child, stepchild, ward or spouse of a current SNA member who is a Surface Warfare Officer or Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist or Officers and Enlisted members of the Coast Guard who’ve earned a permanent Cutterman’s pin, with three years of sea time.

With humble beginnings in 1995, with one scholarship for $500, we now award over $120,000 per year to 60 total individuals. In fact, since 2002 we have provided nearly three quarters of a million dollars in scholarship support to our members and families.

This past year, SNA received over 50 applications and was able to award scholarships to 17 of these outstanding new applicants. With your help, we can continue to grow this exceptional program. SNA is currently accepting donations for the scholarship fund online at:

https://www.navysna.org/SNA/ScholarshipCCDonation.asp

The Surface Navy Association greatly values any donation and all donations are tax deductible as SNA is a 501(c) 3 organization. As an example of the financial clout we can have together, if every member gave just $25, it would be enough to award over 20 fully-funded new scholarships. This is an important way for us to invest in the futures of the families of our nation’s Surface Warriors.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

It’s amazing where networking can take you. Ned met Debbie McKesson over dinner at an Office of Naval Research summit in New Orleans. Debbie is a sail-boater from Seattle, who has just published her first book, an historical fiction called ‘Marco Polo’s Youngest Daughter’. With action ranging from Venice, across Persia and into Constantinople, ‘Marco Polo’s Youngest Daughter’ picks up the thread of the wealthy merchant’s life after he has returned from Kublai Khan’s China. Marco, Morita and their family are swept up in a race to protect 13th century Venice from the combined attacks of the sea-going brigands of Genoa, their rival for trade, and the army of the Mamluk King of Egypt, hungry for wealth. The Polos travel from Venetian canals to merchant brigantine ships playing a deadly game of hide and seek in the Adriatic Sea, and then back to land to follow the legendary Silk Road when Morita is kidnapped. Her race across Persia with the Mongolian Golden Horde leads to intrigue, treachery and battle in the heart of Venice, as the Polos and their fellow citizens risk their city to defeat enemies on land and sea.

How is Debbie in Ned’s network? Debbie’s husband is an Office of Naval Research funded naval architect. What a remarkable world we live in.

*** Youth Communication – United States

This non-profit youth development program is designed to help teenagers in New York City, in the United States (US), develop their reading and writing skills so they can acquire the information they need to make thoughtful choices about their lives. For example, the program trains teens in journalism and related skills. The majority of participants are African-American, Latino, or Asian; they work under the direction of several full-time adult editors. Story ideas are proposed and discussed in group meetings and also in one-on-one meetings between writers and the adult editors. To complete their stories, students must successfully perform a wide range of activities, including writing and rewriting, reading, discussion, reflection, research, interviewing, and typing. They learn to read subway maps, verify facts, and meet deadlines.

*** Got a personal problem?

Hey, who doesn’t.

That’s why JOTW has in the past offered the advice of our own Pontoof, the pontificator.

Well, it appears that Pontoof is once again reaching out to sad souls deeply immersed into delicate situations that require a discrete and sensitive analysis and response.

If you are tired, angry, desperate, lonely, loved, wanting love, remorseful, resourceful or you just need a sounding board, you've come to the right place. Here you can (and will) double your sorrows, halve your joys. Bring all problems to Pontoof, an imaginary friend in these times of imagined woes.

Find out your future. Erase your self-doubt! Let Pontoof do the doubting for you! Send your problems of an extremely sensitive and personal nature and he will send to Pontoof, who will ponder your predicament and then pose a superlative solution. Use an alias. Or we’ll assign an anonymous identity for you. Ned is very discrete, and if Pontoof doesn’t know who you really are, then it’s all good. Pontoof’s advice will be shared in the JOTW newsletter.

Pontoof's Podium of Pontification appears in Ned's Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for professional communicators. You may subscribe for free by sending a blank e-mail to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com.

Like JOTW and the other really good things in life, Pontoof’s pointed advice is free.

*** Surface Warships 2012

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world's surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world's main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.

*** Surface Warships 2012:

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets

In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world's surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world's main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.

23 – 25 January, 2012, Hyatt Regency, Paris, France

*** The Surface Navy Association (SNA) Scholarship program is an annual activity that SNA is very proud to offer to our members’ dependent children and spouses for undergraduate and graduate education. The academic achievements of our scholars are impressive and our current year’s renewal GPA (for those asking for a second through fourth year of support) was 3.64.

An SNA Scholar receives an academic scholarship based on demonstrated leadership, community service, academic achievement and commitment to pursuing higher educational objectives. Our criteria require that an applicant be a child, stepchild, ward or spouse of a current SNA member who is a Surface Warfare Officer or Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist or Officers and Enlisted members of the Coast Guard who’ve earned a permanent Cutterman’s pin, with three years of sea time.

With humble beginnings in 1995, with one scholarship for $500, we now award over $120,000 per year to 60 total individuals. In fact, since 2002 we have provided nearly three quarters of a million dollars in scholarship support to our members and families.

This past year, SNA received over 50 applications and was able to award scholarships to 17 of these outstanding new applicants. With your help, we can continue to grow this exceptional program. SNA is currently accepting donations for the scholarship fund online at:

https://www.navysna.org/SNA/ScholarshipCCDonation.asp

The Surface Navy Association greatly values any donation and all donations are tax deductible as SNA is a 501(c) 3 organization. As an example of the financial clout we can have together, if every member gave just $25, it would be enough to award over 20 fully-funded new scholarships. This is an important way for us to invest in the futures of the families of our nation’s Surface Warriors.

2.) Senior Strategic Communication Assessment Analyst, Headquarters, Department of the Army Office of the Chief of Public Affairs, L-3 MPRI, Washington, DC

Background. The requiring organization is the Headquarters, Department of the Army Office of the Chief of Public Affairs. Its mission includes keeping various internal and external audiences of diverse backgrounds and viewpoints informed on Army programs, operations and policy. The Chief of Public Affairs is responsible for ensuring communication/public affairs enhances understanding, trust, confidence, and advocacy for the Army. Communicating effectively to audiences on whom the Army’s success depends is essential to public and congressional support, especially in a resource constrained environment.

Position Description. L-3 MPRI is seeking a Strategic Communication Assessment Analyst to help the Army’s Office of the Chief of Public Affairs measure and analyze the data-driven results of its communication/public affairs efforts with a view toward continuously improving how well the Army tells its story.

The Analyst will define measures of effectiveness (MoE) and associated metrics, and conceive, develop, and implement strategic-level methodologies, processes, and products for assessing the outcomes achieved by internal and external Army communication programs. The Analyst will prepare executive-level presentations for reporting these communication assessments to senior leaders. The Analyst will apply strategic and tactical level communication and media results analysis to support Army senior leaders, communication planners, the OCPA Media Relations Division, and other OCPA divisions.

• Low- and no-cost Army resources outside of OCPA related to communication assessment have been secured and put to maximum use.

• OCPA’s communication planners are incorporating measurement in their communication strategies.

• Communication planners and the proponent organizations they work with have become “addicted to the numbers” that describe communication results.

Provide expertise and work with communication campaign leads to develop metrics to measure the effects of individual Army communication initiatives. Research, review and assess current or traditional Army communication methods and strategies to determine effectiveness. Develop, utilize and assess appropriate low- or no-cost metrics to support findings and recommendations that inform the communication/public affairs way ahead. Analyze policy, strategy, processes, principles and methodologies, recommending communication strategies that will achieve the most impact in the least time. Manage and facilitate working groups with appropriate Army subject matter experts to develop and implement effective metric-based tracking of Army communication efforts. The Analyst will conduct research, analysis and trend studies of various communication channels and methods, and make recommendations for improvement. This research and analysis must also include other communication systems and programs that are related to and directly impact Army Public Affairs initiatives, such as information technology, and analysis of public opinion polls that mention the U.S. Army.

72.) Senior Account Executive, Gregory FCA, Ardmore, PA

I am pumped about 2012 here at Gregory FCA. We have a mountain of new

work coming through the doors. And I am looking for our next impact

player to join the team. But, as I say 20 times a day, public relations

has changed more in the past three years than in the last 20. I am

looking for someone who knows it, practices it, and can engage audiences

on every level, through the media but also through new emerging digital

channels. Here's the job description:

We are looking for Gregory FCA's next awesome senior account executive.

This person must have a mix of strategic and tactical. A doer. Full of

excitement and eager.

We want someone who is passionate about communications, technology,

tablets, new apps, and digital communications tools. We have decided to

only associate the firm with great communicators who can write like a

journalist and speak powerfully and persuasively.

But also, our next hire will understand national news cycles and be

able to generate ideas, concepts, and materials that will be covered by

the press. MEDIA RELATIONS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT. How much does it pay?

We just concluded a national salary survey which showed that Gregory FCA

pays above average at every level in our firm.

This PR pro will need to be able to help our clients publish a wide

variety of relevant information and distribute it through digital

channels, including the obvious — websites, blogs, and social networks,

such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

But they also must be able to build and penetrate sophisticated digital

ecosystems peopled by online influencers (experts and individuals) who

have created an engaged online following. This new hire will be able to

connect with these influencers so they can positively impact a client's

reputation or visibility.

We don't want to hear about brand mumbo jumbo or the importance of

“controlling narratives.” That's so 2000. Rather, our team wants those

who can build followings and enhance reputations, and generate vast

exposure through the media and the media's own online presence.

We want someone like us. Someone who follows and studies both

traditional and new media. Someone who has their own presence out there

in the world. Someone who can teach us a thing or two, but who can also

learn — by the minute, by the hour, and by the latest on Flipboard,

Zite, or Google News.

If this is you, we need to talk. If not, there are thousands of lesser

agencies just right for you. But right now, don't waste my time.

Instead, reach me in any of the ways outlined in my blog. Make your

case. And help us make history for the team and our clients.

Exploring the Future of Global Surface Combatant Fleets

In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world's surface, and reach most of its population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world's main actors and their allies – and surface warships are key components of such forces. Their need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professional to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.

*** The Surface Navy Association (SNA) Scholarship program is an annual activity that SNA is very proud to offer to our members’ dependent children and spouses for undergraduate and graduate education. The academic achievements of our scholars are impressive and our current year’s renewal GPA (for those asking for a second through fourth year of support) was 3.64.

An SNA Scholar receives an academic scholarship based on demonstrated leadership, community service, academic achievement and commitment to pursuing higher educational objectives. Our criteria require that an applicant be a child, stepchild, ward or spouse of a current SNA member who is a Surface Warfare Officer or Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist or Officers and Enlisted members of the Coast Guard who’ve earned a permanent Cutterman’s pin, with three years of sea time.

With humble beginnings in 1995, with one scholarship for $500, we now award over $120,000 per year to 60 total individuals. In fact, since 2002 we have provided nearly three quarters of a million dollars in scholarship support to our members and families.

This past year, SNA received over 50 applications and was able to award scholarships to 17 of these outstanding new applicants. With your help, we can continue to grow this exceptional program. SNA is currently accepting donations for the scholarship fund online at:

https://www.navysna.org/SNA/ScholarshipCCDonation.asp

The Surface Navy Association greatly values any donation and all donations are tax deductible as SNA is a 501(c) 3 organization. As an example of the financial clout we can have together, if every member gave just $25, it would be enough to award over 20 fully-funded new scholarships. This is an important way for us to invest in the futures of the families of our nation’s Surface Warriors.

11.) Senior Strategic Communication Assessment Analyst, Headquarters, Department of the Army Office of the Chief of Public Affairs, L-3 MPRI, Washington, DC

Background. The requiring organization is the Headquarters, Department of the Army Office of the Chief of Public Affairs. Its mission includes keeping various internal and external audiences of diverse backgrounds and viewpoints informed on Army programs, operations and policy. The Chief of Public Affairs is responsible for ensuring communication/public affairs enhances understanding, trust, confidence, and advocacy for the Army. Communicating effectively to audiences on whom the Army’s success depends is essential to public and congressional support, especially in a resource constrained environment. The Army must not only create and implement communication programs and products (outputs), but also develop and carry out means for measuring and reporting communication/public affairs results (outcomes).

Position Description. L-3 MPRI is seeking a Strategic Communication Assessment Analyst to help the Army’s Office of the Chief of Public Affairs measure and analyze the data-driven results of its communication/public affairs efforts with a view toward continuously improving how well the Army tells its story. The Analyst will develop and execute strategies and tactics for measuring the effects of Army communication across the entire spectrum of media outreach, community relations, and direct communication. The Analyst will define measures of effectiveness (MoE) and associated metrics, and conceive, develop, and implement strategic-level methodologies, processes, and products for assessing the outcomes achieved by internal and external Army communication programs. The Analyst will prepare executive-level presentations for reporting these communication assessments to senior leaders. The Analyst will apply strategic and tactical level communication and media results analysis to support Army senior leaders, communication planners, the OCPA Media Relations Division, and other OCPA divisions. The Analyst will continuously monitor both the strategic and communication environments for customer-relevant issues, threats, and opportunities and provide strategic insight and recommendations for aligning resources, improving communication effectiveness, and achieving strategic communication goals and objectives. The Analyst will support and assist OCPA leadership in the Army Communication Working Group process. Execution must be in compliance with U.S. law, DoD policy and assessment guidance provided by Army Senior Leadership and the Chief of Public Affairs.

Success in the position is characterized by:

• Goals and objectives for all significant communication campaigns/plans are measurable, data-driven, and agreed to by stakeholders. They will answer the, “so what?” question.

• OCPA has developed a clear idea, supported by data, of communication strategies and tactics that work in most situations and those that do not.

• OCPA can prove to Army senior leaders, usually with hard data, the impact that communication/public affairs is having in connection with addressing a particular issue, achieving a major goal, or solving a significant problem (such as raising awareness, improving understanding, generating interest, gaining support/preference, causing desired action).

• Low- and no-cost Army resources outside of OCPA related to communication assessment have been secured and put to maximum use.

• OCPA’s communication planners are incorporating measurement in their communication strategies.

• Communication planners and the proponent organizations they work with have become “addicted to the numbers” that describe communication results.

Specific tasks include: Serve as the Army’s communication measurement expert — capable of providing analytical expertise in understanding the character, nature and trends of communication in this age of information, particularly with the emergence of social or new media. Provide expertise and work with communication campaign leads to develop metrics to measure the effects of individual Army communication initiatives. Research, review and assess current or traditional Army communication methods and strategies to determine effectiveness. Develop, utilize and assess appropriate low- or no-cost metrics to support findings and recommendations that inform the communication/public affairs way ahead. Analyze policy, strategy, processes, principles and methodologies, recommending communication strategies that will achieve the most impact in the least time. Manage and facilitate working groups with appropriate Army subject matter experts to develop and implement effective metric-based tracking of Army communication efforts. The Analyst will conduct research, analysis and trend studies of various communication channels and methods, and make recommendations for improvement. This research and analysis must also include other communication systems and programs that are related to and directly impact Army Public Affairs initiatives, such as information technology, and analysis of public opinion polls that mention the U.S. Army. Establish working relationships with and garner cooperation and support from other applicable Army organizations, such as the Army Research Institute and the Center for Army Analysis.

Qualifications. The successful candidate must have five or more year’s experience in strategic communication research, analysis and assessment using relevant tools, techniques and procedures, with at least two years of demonstrated experience in performing communication assessments at the enterprise level.
