Opportunities exist to help tell Keesler's story Published March 28, 2012 By Susan Griggs 81st Training Wing Public Affairs KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- Keesler Public Affairs is responsible for championing the Air Force story. To do that, the PA team relies on many other people to bring Keesler's story to the public. For military members and civilians who enjoy public speaking, the speakers bureau and mission briefers are always in demand. If you'd like to share your unit's mission with Keesler's visitors, you can help with tours of the base. And if singing is more your style, base and community events often look for talented vocalists. Singers are also sought for programs on base and in the surrounding community, particularly to sing the national anthem. The speakers bureau is a public service and information tool comprised of military and civilian Air Force employees who volunteer their time and expertise to speak to a wide range of community groups. Speakers come from a variety of experiences and backgrounds and share their knowledge about aircraft maintenance, aviation, computer operations, communication skills, health, military life, military law, combat experience, financial management, child development, Air Force history and other subjects. Mission briefers are needed to present prepared comments to accompany slides about Keesler and its mission at various meetings and events. When base tours are conducted, representatives are needed across the base to tell their unit's story for visiting civic, military, retiree and student groups.
