I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the Commodore of our esteemed club. As the first woman to serve in this role in our 66-year history, I am deeply grateful for the confidence, trust, and support that our members have placed in me.

 

As Commodore, my priorities continue to focus on preserving our legacy, strengthening our foundation, and ensuring a vibrant future for generations to come.

​

My key areas of focus include:

​

Ensuring the Fiscal and Structural Stability of the Club
Maintaining the financial health and organizational strength of our club will remain a top priority. By building upon the solid foundation established by previous leadership, we will continue to position the club for long-term success and sustainability.

​

Preserving and Celebrating Our Rich History

Our history is a remarkable story of resilience, achievement, fellowship, and service. On December 5, 2025, we reached a historic milestone with the publication of our first history book, On the Chesapeake: The History of the Seafarers Yacht Club, Inc., which is now available on Amazon. This publication preserves our legacy and honors the vision, dedication, and contributions of the generations of members who built and sustained our club. As we celebrate this achievement, we will continue the important work of organizing and archiving our records, photographs, and historical documents to ensure that our rich heritage is preserved and accessible for future generations.

​

Strengthening Our Partnership with the Seafarers Foundation

The Seafarers Yacht Club and the Seafarers Foundation share a longstanding commitment to education, community service, youth development, and maritime heritage. Together, we have made a meaningful impact both on and off the water. I am committed to further strengthening this valued partnership by fostering collaboration, enhancing communication, and supporting initiatives that advance our shared mission. By working together, we can expand our reach, deepen our impact, and ensure that the legacy of service and stewardship that defines both organizations continues to flourish.

​

Embracing the Joy of Seafaring
Above all, we will celebrate the spirit that brings us together—our love of boating, fellowship, and the Chesapeake Bay. Whether cruising the waterways, participating in club activities, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of fellow members, we will continue to create meaningful experiences both on the water and ashore.

In the months ahead, we have an exciting calendar of events, initiatives, and opportunities for engagement. I encourage every member to become involved, share ideas, and contribute their talents as we work together to strengthen our club and enrich the member experience.

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our organization. I look forward to serving alongside you and working collaboratively with our members, community partners, and the Seafarers Foundation to ensure that our club continues to thrive for many years to come.

Fair Winds and Following Seas,
