CMP offers challenges, opportunities
 My primary role as a writer and editor for Chief Military Personnel was Managing Editor
of the monthly 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.
In addition, from September 2006 through September
2007, while the newsletter's graphic designer was on leave,
I designed and laid out the newsletter and designed other
CMP products such as programs, posters and a special insert
to The Maple Leaf.
Occasionally, I wrote press releases, media response lines and other public affairs products, and created information tools such as PowerPoint presentations.
