CEO Update: Changes to the Navy League’s Vision, Mission and Goals

As you may know, the Navy League of the United States has a proud history spanning more than 122 years, and while our core mission has remained steadfast, we recently recognized the need to update our Vision, Mission and Goals statement to better reflect our current focus and direction. 

Through a formal process that involved thoughtful recommendations and diligent edits, we re excited to announce the release of our newly approved Mission, Vision and Goals statement. This update was endorsed during our January Executive Committee meeting and aims to more clearly express our commitment to supporting and advocating for the U.S. Sea Services. 

Vision Statement 

The Navy League of the United States aspires to be the leading authority in supporting, educating and advocating for the U.S. Sea Services — Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and U.S.-Flagged Merchant Marine — effectively engaging the American public and our national, state and local government leaders. 

Mission Statement 

The mission of the Navy League of the United States is to promote and enhance U.S. global sea power while supporting America’s sea services. We advocate for the vital contributions of our sea services — the United States Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-Flagged Merchant Marine — in safeguarding the nation’s security and bolstering its economic prosperity. Through support, education and advocacy, we aim to strengthen the connections between the American public, government and our maritime services by reinforcing that the United States of America is a maritime nation. 

Goals 

• Support service members, their families and youth programs related to maritime service.
• Educate national, state and local government leaders and the public at large on the critical importance of maintaining robust sea services. 
• Advocate tirelessly for the interests and needs of the sea services. 

We believe that these changes will better align our efforts with our core mission and enhance our impact within the community we serve. We appreciate your continued support as we move forward together in this important journey. 

Thank you for your attention to this significant update.
