USSCA President's Corner

 

 July 2025

 

 

Greetings Sailors!

The 2025 Annual meeting was held at the Fairhope North Americans. Brief highlights of the report to membership included a recap of the class strategy ‘Creating Value for Members’ and how each component of the strategy is being addressed. One of these is developing the education component for members which has led to the series of seminars we are offering this summer. We have a new one (2-part series) lined up for August which I hope you all enjoy. We have also revamped our financial strategy to enhance growth by converting from a single CD to a broader capital investment strategy. In addition, we have incorporated a 501 (c) (3) as the USSCA Foundation and are currently establishing a board for this foundation and are filing with the IRS for tax exempt status. This will allow tax deductible donations to be made that in turn will benefit class members. We are at the beginning of setting this up, so more to come on this development. The full presentation for the meeting can be accessed at 2025 Annual Meeting Presentation.

I would like to thank the USSCA board for their dedication in building the value of USSCA and for the support of each of you for the class.

As always, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or suggestions you would like to share. I am always happy to hear from you.
