The aim of the Region One RDC Program is to facilitate communication among ships within the region. It seeks to establish regular correspondence with Chapter Department Chiefs (or designated contacts) from various ships in the area. While its focus is primarily on departmental activities and issues affecting these departments, its impact has proven beneficial, fostering improvements within departments and for individuals involved. Importantly, the program does not seek to impose restrictions on any ship or department, nor does it endorse uniformity across chapters, recognizing each chapter’s unique operations within Region One.
Similar to other initiatives in STARFLEET, participation in the RDC program is entirely voluntary. There are no financial incentives or coercive measures involved. However, the program does recognize outstanding contributions with awards, recommendations for promotions (subject to approval by commanding officers), certificates for exceptional performance, and social gatherings at conventions and summits.
The core pillars of the RDC program are information sharing and communication. Through the free exchange of ideas and information, members’ horizons are broadened, and their enjoyment of the STARFLEET experience is enhanced. By fostering a network of like-minded individuals, the program promotes Fleet values of camaraderie, enjoyment, and enthusiasm for STAR TREK.
