Hello, I am  Wayne Farnholz Captain of  Division 8, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary .

 

Welcome to the Division 8 web site.

 

                           

EMPOWERMENT OF OUR MEMBERS

 People are empowered when they are given the authority, knowledge and responsibility to make decisions affecting their work with a minimum of interference and second-guessing by others.

Empowerment is an overused and under-practiced term. When people are empowered they bring their minds to work. They are engaged in making decisions that affect their part of the organization. They take responsibility for their actions. They work free from the petty bureaucratic hassles that diminish value and waste time. They add value to the organization by embracing the principles of quality and service. They search for ways to make a positive difference.

The "knowledgeable empowered worker" has begun to be synonymous with the success of organizations in the 21st century. Empowerment is key. The only way to ensure that organizations get the best thinking people have to offer is to create an environment where people feel free and motivated to do their best work. My charge to you is, INSPIRE others to join us in our mission by showing them your enthusiasm, professionalism, caring and selflessness.

Wayne Farnholtz, Division 8 Captain

Division 8 is located in Northern California; our volunteer members provide support for the United States Coast Guard and the recreational boating community in Lake, Mendocino, and Humboldt Counties. The Division is composed of four flotillas each of which offer their members the opportunity to participate in many varied activities associated with boating on both the ocean and inland waters. The link buttons above will provide you with a wealth of information about the Auxiliary, our flotillas, events, and staff.

We hope you have found the information at our web site useful.
