Cadet Advisory Council

The Minnesota Wing Cadet Advisory Council advocates constructive change and improvement in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program. Our focus lies both within in our Wing as well as to the greater whole of our national program. Together we seek solutions, represent our home units, and provide a voice for our fellow cadets in being part of the process to make our great program even greater.
