MOTN MEMBER NEWS! Captain Brian Perkins Receives Surface Navy Association’s Special Recognition Award

January 25, 2019 By MOTN

Surface Navy Association Symposium Jan. 15-17, 2019

Surface Navy Association Symposium Jan. 15-17, 2019

While attending the Surface Navy Association Symposium, held in Washington DC, Captain Brian Perkins was awarded a Special Recognition Award. This award is generally awarded to Surface Navy Association members, dependents and retirees whose community-related activities go “above and beyond” as well as promoting the Surface Navy. “He was awarded the Surface Navy Association’s Special Recognition Award for his vision and service—our highest honor.”

Captain Brian Perkins served 30 years in the U.S. Coast Guard in the prestigious assignment as Chief of Cutter Forces for the U.S. Coast Guard.  As one of the founders of Coast Guard Cuttermen’s Association, it was Captain Perkins’ vision to align the Cuttermen’s Association with the Surface Navy Association. Creating the value-proposition and selling the concept to both organizations, this alignment and merger was accomplished in January 2016 to the betterment of both organizations.
