Lt. Col. Deborah Kolos has accepted the position of national director of mentoring -- one of a dozen people joining National Headquarters staff or named to national volunteer posts recently.
A member of Civil Air Patrol since 2009, Kolos has served as a commander at both squadron and group levels in the Florida Wing. She is also actively involved in the aerospace education program in the wing as well as CAP's Southeast Region.
Among other achievements, she has Master ratings in command and aerospace education and has received many awards. Having mentored many members through levels and ratings, she says CAP's National Mentoring Program is close to her heart, and she looks forward to contributing to it.
Her husband, Capt. Alan Kolos, is his squadron's logistics and supply officer. They both enjoy golfing together and giving tours at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center.
