A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN | ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY

26 April 2020

Subj:  ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY

Marine Embassy Guard Association (MEGA) Membership,

Ooh-Rah from the Desk of the Chairman. On 25 April 2020, I was elected to the position of Chairman of the Board of the Marine Embassy Guard Association.  This took place after our Board of Directors (BOD) meeting and elections of the new board members.  I am honored to accept this position and the responsibilities that come with it.

I’m really looking forward to working with the members of the board, as well as the members.  As a previous Director on the Board, I particularly enjoyed helping with strategic planning and the communications committee.  We already have some important goals that I am excited to spearhead immediately.  My personal goal, however, is to help generate excitement and energy from the Officers, the Board, and members so that multiple talents are being tapped into.

I plan to continue communication with you through our quarterly MEGA-NEWS, our website www.embassymarine.org, and through our quarterly meetings, and periodic personal calls.  I enjoy getting to know others and gathering feedback so please feel free to reach me at chairman@embassymarine.org or 717-433-1105 (cell).

Lastly, I wish to thank our outgoing members of the Board for their time and commitment to MEGA.  Without an effective and active Board, MEGA would flounder.  Specifically, I appreciate the significant amount of time ‘Sandy’ Mackey III has devoted to our organization.

Wishing everyone good health and looking forward to the 2021 reunion.

 

Sincerely,

ROBERT L. LIGHTY/Chairman of the Board
