Subject: Important Note from Your USCG National Retiree Council Co-Chairs
•
As your USCG National Retiree Council co-chairs, MCPO Kevin Isherwood and I want to give all Regional Retiree Council co-chairs advance notice of an impending change to publication of the Retiree Newsletter. The next newsletter (which you will receive in early November) will announce that the National Coast Guard Museum Association (NCGMA) will be taking over the helm of publishing your retiree newsletter.
Beginning with your January 2020 edition, the newsletter will be available both by mail and electronically. After discussions with both the CG-1 staff and the president of the NCGMA, Capt (ret.) Wes Pulver (a member of the Long Blue Line himself), we are confident that our retiree community will be excited with the new product. Historical content will continue, plus, with a dedicated production staff at CGNMA, you will now see articles of interest regarding USCG history and heritage, be kept abreast of current USCG happenings, as well as follow the creation of your USCG National Museum.
Importantly, while you will see the addition of commercial advertising (which allows the NCGMA to self-fund the new publication), retiree/annuitant personal information will never be used by the NCGMA, or any other entity, for direct solicitations. Your National Retiree Council will be monitoring this last point closely. Kevin and I expect there will be some amount of questions and concerns in regard to the “outsourcing” of the retiree newsletter. But again, we both view this evolution as a net positive for our retiree/annuitant community. We ask that you pass along feedback received within your individual regional councils, positive or negative, once the NCGMA produced newsletter roles out.
Semper Paratus,
Jeff Hathaway Kevin Isherwood
