Welcome to the Seventh District Coast Guard Auxiliary! It is an honor and privilege to serve as your District Commodore.

Our district is a vibrant and dedicated community of volunteers, united by a shared commitment to promoting maritime safety, supporting Coast Guard missions, and serving our local communities. Our dedication and passion are the heart of our success. Whether on the water, in the air, or on land, our contributions extend the capabilities of our Coast Guard partners and make a profound impact on the safety and well-being of the boating public.

Our efforts are guided by three primary principles: Enthusiasm, Engagement, and Excellence.

Enthusiasm is the driving force behind every successful endeavor. Our passion for service and our volunteer spirit motivates those around us, ensuring that we all strive to achieve our best.

Engagement is key to fostering a collaborative and effective environment. Our ability to connect with members, build strong relationships, and promote teamwork strengthens our collective efforts and enhances our capabilities.

Excellence is the standard by which we measure our achievements. Our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, and quality in all that we do sets a shining example for others to follow.

If you are considering joining our ranks, we extend an enthusiastic invitation to become part of our team. The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers unique opportunities to develop new skills, engage in meaningful service, and form lasting friendships. Your involvement can make a significant difference, and we welcome the diverse talents and perspectives you bring. Our district is committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every member feels valued and empowered to contribute. We provide comprehensive training and development programs to ensure you are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in your roles.

As we look ahead, I am excited about the possibilities and confident in our collective ability to achieve great things. Together, we will continue to uphold the proud traditions of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and make a positive impact on our communities and waterways.

Thank you for your dedication, enthusiasm, and service. I look forward to working with each of you as we strive to be always ready—Semper Paratus.
