base, private-sector United States companies and military leaders
together for an annual educational, innovative, and professional
event. SAS is now the largest maritime exposition in the
U.S. and continues as an invaluable extension of the Navy League's
mission of maritime policy, education, and sea service support.
3. This year's exposition will feature U.S. Coast Guard senior
leaders participating in panel discussions on many maritime topics.
This event will provide USCG participants' professional development
opportunities, dynamic luncheons, keynote speakers, and open forums
to fully discuss CG missions and processes to ensure we set the
conditions for a better CG future.

will also be at the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center on
Sunday, 19 April. Anyone attending SAS is welcome at the STEM Expo.
