WELCOME

            Welcome to the web page of the District Staff Officer – Legal, First District, Southern Region. The function of my website is to provide you with easy to down-load and use documents and other information. I will be adding material and removing material from time to time. Most of this material can be located at other sources. It is my intention to gather into one place material, together with easy to understand instructions, important to the administration of your Flotilla, Division and even the District.  As the DSO-Legal I am prepared to assist each level of the First Southern Region Auxiliary in attempting to resolve matters before they become major issues.

            The mission of the DSO-L is to provide legal assistance on Auxiliary related matters to   the members of the District Board and Senior Staff. In addition, the DSO-L reviews all agreements signed by any level of the District before they are signed by the authorized elected officer. The DSO-L must also review all changes to the standing rules of every unit which comprises the District. The DSO-L also provides assistance to the elected leaders in respect to the conduct of disciplinary investigations and acts as an advisor in respect to the determination made by the leader regarding the measure of discipline, if any.

 

Do it right the first time – save time and aggravation
