Commandant Thad Allen Receives NASBLA's Garner Award

Commandant Thad Allen was presented the William B. Garner National Boating Safety Leadership Award by NASBLA President John Fetterman. The award has been established to recognize and commend the accomplishments of those rare individuals whose vision, persistence and willingness to go beyond the status quo put them on the frontier of recreational boating safety. 

Adm. Allen has exhibited extraordinary leadership in strengthening state/Coast Guard relations from the local station level to the highest ranks of the agency. He has been actively engaged in the  reauthorization of the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, working with the leadership of the Department of Interior. From his leadership in the Atlantic Area Command through his ascension to commandant, Adm. Allen has been a steady and stalwart friend of the states and the National Recreational Boating Safety Program.
