United States Power Squadrons, its Districts and Squadrons are non-profit boating organizations devoted to safe boating through education whose members consist of enthusiastic sailors and powerboaters. Our national organization, the USPS, tries to meet the needs of all boaters, both power and sail, big and small, by providing free public boating education courses to all current or prospective boaters and by offering advanced boating education and fraternal boating to their members. It is the squadrons who conduct the public boating courses and are the real heart of the USPS organization. Click here for more about USPS.

Our District Commander and five Lieutenant Commanders are collectively known as the District Bridge. They are supported by a large number of officers and committees leading every aspect of our operation. The District serves as the link between USPS and our local squadrons. It serves as a resource to the squadron leadership by providing information and guidance to the squadron officers and committees. It also provides feedback to the national organization about items of concern to the squadrons. Each squadron officer has a district counterpart who can provide information and answer questions.
