INTrO
- The Key Spouse is a spouse volunteer who serves as primary liaison between the unit and the families. They are appointed by the commander and keep the commander informed about concerns of the family. They also provide information to families about the squadron and programs at base agencies. Here are 10 People-Related Resources.

- The Key Spouse is typically a spouse with a strong background in AF issues and concerns; they help establish guidelines for working with the unit’s command section and support staff. The Key Spouse meets with unit leadership and unit spouses, monthly (as needed) to discuss concerns and issues of unit family members.

Training
- After Key Spouses are appointed by the commander they receive initial, formal training which includes a continuity binder, certificate, Key Spouse pin. If training is not immediately available then the modules (under Resources to the right) are completed and Key Spouse meets one-on-one for individual training. At this time, the Key Spouse provides contact information and is added to the Key Spouse e-mail distribution list.

Key Spouse Meeting
- Key Spouse meetings are held to provide Key Spouses a chance to network with other organizational Key Spouses. In addition, subject matter experts are asked to present information and the Key Spouses in turn share this information with unit spouses.

Spouse it up
- Spouse It Up is an event that allows spouses and children to get out of the house, meet other spouses and children, and enjoy a meal together. Spouse it Up normally begins at 10:30 AM and the location will depend on the theme (Bowling, Bingo in the Community Center, BBQ in Area D, etc.).
