Community Programs & Partnership Office (CPPO)
The Community Partnership & Programs Office (CPPO) is comprised of a small but mighty team of professionals who are experts in their respective fields. With creativity, passion, and dedication, our team works year-round to enhance the quality of life for the Whiteman community. Our mission is to provide the base populace and patrons with quality programs, engaging base-wide events, and opportunities for connection, fun, and enrichment at Whiteman Air Force Base.
In addition to coordinating partnerships and community initiatives, CPPO plans and executes a wide variety of morale-boosting events throughout the year. From exciting Bingo Nights and family-friendly holiday-themed celebrations to seasonal festivals, our goal is to bring people together and create memorable experiences for Airmen, families, and civilians alike.
We take pride in fostering a strong sense of community by creating inclusive, engaging, and meaningful programs that support readiness, resilience, and connection. Whether you’re attending a themed event, participating in a special program, or partnering with us to support the base, CPPO is committed to making Whiteman a vibrant and connected place to live and work.
uNite Program
The Unite Program empowers unit commanders to create new opportunities for recreational and cohesive activities to strengthen the bond between members within the unit. All assigned Air Force and Space Force Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, and civilian (appropriated and non-appropriated) members are authorized Unite funds.
The Unite Program intends to provide unit leaders with the maximum flexibility to develop and deliver recreational programs to build recreational cohesion for personnel within their unit, or subset of the unit, to include spouses and dependents at their discretion. CPPO provides squadron leaders with program ideas that are authorized uses of Unite funds. Squadron leaders are given the discretion to create Unit-Developed Programs (UDP) that capitalize on opportunities available in the geographic area. Events must be both recreational and unit cohesive to utilize Unite funds. Most MWR facilities have Unite targeted programming to assist squadron leaders in executing these funds with recreation and cohesion in mind!
