Introducing the Foundation Board
The U.S. Naval Institute Board of Directors recently voted to re-establish a separate and distinct board to assist the Foundation in its work to support the Institute’s financial well-being. To our delight, five accomplished and dedicated business professionals have now accepted the challenge to serve. Together, they have more than a half-century of Institute membership—and our profound thanks for all they will do on behalf of the Institute.
