Commander
Division 14
Jesse
Stevens
We now begin a
new year with a new bridge, changes and opportunities. This
will be an exciting year for sure as we move to modernize
with the Coast Guard. We have met the challenges and
opportunities in the past and overcome or capitalized on
them. Since the same dedicated members that performed well
in the past are still on the job, there is no reason to
believe we cannot do the same in the future.
I find these
quotes to be a very accurate description of change and
opportunity.
It's not
that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that
some people are ready to change and others are
not.

Gordon M.D.
Opportunity
is missed by most people because it is dressed in
overalls and looks like work.

I am pleased
that the membership, through the Board, chose to elect me as
your Division Commander for 2009. I will endeavor to
perform my duties with the the integrity and honor that your
vote entitles the membership to.

Another year has begun, and I want to
first thank the Officers of Division 14 four your confidence
in electing Jesse Stevens as our Division Commander and
myself as Division Vice Commander. It was only through your
efforts and the efforts of your Division members that we had
a successful past year. I look forward to working with each
and every Flotilla Officer and our newly appointed Division
Staff Officer to make this coming year an even better one.
While I do to use a lot of numbers and
statistics in my reports, I believe it is important to look
at and show where we have been and what we have done in the
past year so as to see where we want to go, and thus set a
realistic course for this next year. To do this requires us
to examine our accomplishments or lack thereof in some of
the more important programs.
In closing, I
am pleased to report we have a complete complement of
Division Staff Officers, a number who are new, as well as
new Flotilla Commanders. I look forward to working with
each and every one of you for a most enjoyable and
productive year.
