SUBJ:  2020 AUXILIARY DIVERSITY AWARD RECIPIENT
1. The Coast Guard Office of Diversity and Inclusion is pleased
to announce and congratulate Mr. Randel McCormick of the Eleventh
District, Northern Auxiliary Region (D11-NR), Flotilla 53 in North
Solano County, California as the awardee of the National Commodore’s
2020 Auxiliary Diversity Award. This award recognizes exemplary
performance by an Auxiliarist in the field of diversity. They
must demonstrate exceptional standards of conduct, inspirational
leadership, commitment to superior service, and consistent support
of the Auxiliary’s diversity goals and the Coast Guard Diversity
Policy Statement. They must also exemplify the Coast Guard’s Core
Values and infuse the value of diversity and inclusion throughout
Auxiliary organization and activities.
2. Mr. McCormick has been an active and ardent Auxiliarist since
enrolling in February of 2009. He has served in several elected
and appointed offices at flotilla, division, and district levels
including District Captain and Assistant District Staff Officer
for Human Resources. He currently serves as the Diversity Officer
for his flotilla, division, and all of D11-NR. He worked tirelessly
to create, instill, and promote an inclusive Auxiliary membership
environment that projected the value of all individuals and fostered
their teamwork and collective success. Demonstrating remarkable
resourcefulness and initiative, he set up several “diversity
potlucks” in which Auxiliarists shared their favorite ethnic
dishes, fully leveraged virtual meeting tools to develop and
deliver creative and comprehensive online diversity training
workshops, authored many articles for regional Auxiliary
publications, and provided an engaging Auxiliary uniform workshop
to units across the region. As a direct result of his enthusiastic
and unflagging leadership, D11-NR Auxiliary units sustained
vibrancy throughout their recruiting and retention efforts
and more than doubled their National Commodore’s 3-Star Diversity
Award submissions from 13 the previous year to 29 new nominations.
