The NAL Florida Chapter will hold its March meeting at 11:00 am on Tuesday, March 19th at the Debus Center in the KSC Visitor Complex. Following a 45 minute social, we will have a buffet lunch followed by a presentation by Canaveral Port Authority Commissioner Wayne Justice.
Commissioner Justice was re-elected to the Commission representing District 3 for another four-year term that began December 2018. He spent 2018 as the chairman of the Canaveral Port Authority. A Coast Guard Academy and Naval War College graduate, he spent 37 years in the Coast Guard, with 15 of those assigned in Florida. Justice had 12 years on cutters, specializing in counter drug, illegal migrant, and search and rescue patrols. He retired as a Rear (2 star) Admiral and currently is a maritime consultant.
PLEASE NOTE: Because we must guarantee our numbers to Delaware North two days in advance, we must pay for the seats we reserve. If you fail to cancel within 48 hours of the luncheon and don’t attend, we must charge you for your reservation.
