Commodore John Holmes
Immediate Past District Commodore

The Honor of my serving as your 2023-2024 D7 Commodore is filled with many fond memories and my sincere thanks to so many dedicated individuals who made these past two years successful. Our Director LCDR. Benjamin R Tuxhorn and CWO-2 Brook L Blount demonstrated a can do spirit of leadership by example and always put our members needs as the highest priority.

The District staff on all levels of Leadership served our members with dedication and distinction. I will always be grateful to each of them for sharing their time, talent and ability in support of our many successful missions and programs.

D7 is fortunate to have as the incoming COL a team of talented. Motivated, creative individuals that I believe will lead D7 into a more technological and modern organization. COMO Martin Goodwin our new D7 DCO has a team of extraordinary Leaders that have exciting plans and objectives for the future of our District. The Success of this team will require the support of our Auxiliary members throughout D7. I am confident that our D7 Executive team will receive that support just as I did.

My sincere thanks to my fellow shipmates who I will always admire and Respect.
