Heartland District Eastern Region leadership met this week during the District Training event, with participation from U.S. Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley, to strengthen coordination and reinforce mission readiness across the region.

The District also held its elections, welcoming District Commodore A. Waters, Chief of Staff V. Rogers, and District Captain (East) B. Estes for the upcoming two‑year term. We extend our appreciation to Commodore Boneau for two years of dedicated service and leadership.

In addition, training sessions were open to all District members, supporting our shared commitment to professionalism, preparedness, and service alongside the active‑duty Coast Guard.
