Leadership

Anne B. Brengle became president of the Coast Guard Foundation in January 2008 and has led the Foundation team through many new initiatives to strengthen our support for the men and women of the United States Coast Guard. As the Foundation celebrates its fortieth year of service to the Coast Guard, Mrs. Brengle will continue to build strong partnerships and collaborations to increase the visibility of the Foundation and raise awareness and important funds for the programs that benefit Coast Guard members and their families.

Ross E. Roeder is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Coast Guard Foundation. Mr. Roeder has served in this role since 2005. As a recent recipient of the Coast Guard’s Distinguished Public Service Award, he was recognized for his work to raise the national visibility of the Foundation’s mission and establish strategic partnerships to ensure a collaborative approach for future support of the Coast Guard. He is credited with providing the Foundation with a vision for the future that underscores the importance of relationships to synchronize fundraising efforts to benefit all members of the Coast Guard.
