RADM Sinclair Harris, USN (Ret.)
I am honored to serve as the 2018-2020 NNOA President. I will: 1. Represent and serve NNOA to the best of my abilities. 2. Reach out to leadership in the Sea Services, MARAD, NOAA and PHS to seek new ways to improve NNOA’s relationship and relevance. 3. Work with like-minded organizations (e.g., Fraternities, Sororities, Navy League, Marine Corps League, ANSO, SSLA, etc.) to improve diversity in the Sea Services, MARAD, NOAA and PHS. Going forward, I will focus on: – Chapter Engagement – Membership Growth – Symposium 2019 – Complete Strategic Review
