Latitude 41° Restaurant & Tavern
Women have been an integral part of the U.S. Coast Guard since they first became lighthouse keepers in the 1830s. Since then, the proud history of females in the service include the Women's Reserve (SPARS), a critical component during World War II, through the first active-duty female personnel in 1973 and the first female cadet, admitted to the Coast Guard Academy in 1976.
Join us for a panel discussion on the future of women in the Coast Guard and the challenges and opportunities of leading the 21st-century Coast Guard.
