The Coast Guard Foundation an- nounced that board member, Guy Edison

Clay Maitland, was the recipient of the

Coast Guard’s Distinguished Public

Service Award. Presented by Coast

Guard Commandant ADM Robert Papp, the honor for “personal and direct contri- butions” was bestowed following re- marks at the Foundation’s 30th Annual

Salute to the United States Coast Guard, which took place on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 in New York City.

Highlighting his fifteen years on the

Foundation’s National Board of Trustees and acknowledging his well-respected reputation in the maritime community, the award credits Maitland as a driving force behind Coast Guard Foundation ac- tivities. “Since joining the Foundation, he [Maitland] has contributed untold hours of service and exceedingly gener- ous personal resources in support of

Foundation programs that benefit the men and women of the Coast Guard and their families,” declared Papp. “These programs have helped those Coast Guard families impacted by Katrina, provided college scholarships for the children of enlisted personnel, provided educational grants for enlisted personnel, and deliv- ered much needed relief to the Coast

Guard units and families so deeply im- pacted by operational accidents in

Hawaii, California and Washington.”

In addition to his service to the Coast

Guard Foundation, Maitland is known throughout the maritime industry as an advocate for quality shipping through his work as Founding Chairman of the North

American Marine Environment Protec- tion Association (NAMEPA) and Chair- man of the Industry Advisory Council for the North American Maritime Ministry

Association, amongst other distinctions.

Professionally, Mr. Maitland is Manag- ing Partner of International Registries,

Inc. which administers the Marshall Is- lands ship registry—the world’s third largest.
