Tuesday, 15 September 2026

Event:  Luncheon

Speaker:   Captain Roberto Rivera, USCG

Time:  11:30 Reception, 12:00 Lunch

Location:  Historic Philadelphia


Captain Rivera took command of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay in J uly, 2026, after serving as Deputy Sector Commander for three years. He leads over 815 active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel, 2,100 Coast Guard Auxiliary volunteers, and 11 Coast Guard units. A big job.

"And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:  

"I served in the United States Navy.”  -  John Fitzgerald Kennedy, US Navy Lieutenant & 35th President of the United States
