VESSEL SAFETY CHECK AWARD
The Coast Guard Auxiliary expanded its Courtesy Marine Examination Program in the year 2000 to include Power Squadron members and changed the name to the Vessel Safety Check Program. The very next year, our squadron became involved and currently has six Vessel Examiners.
In 2003 Past Commander Glaser established a new
squadron award to recognize the Vessel Examiner of the Year for
contributions
made to the Vessel Safety Check Program.
