Registration is now open for the 7th Annual Women on the Water Conference, to be held at the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, March 25-27, 2015.

This annual conference will bring together cadets from the Federal and State Merchant Marine Academies and Colleges with professional mariners who are leaders in different sectors of the maritime industry. The event will be an excellent opportunity for cadets to learn about the exciting careers that are open to them directly from successful women as well as to hear about current issues affecting the maritime industry. This opportunity is also ideal for cadets and professionals alike to meet and network with others in the maritime industry.

Keynote speaker will be Rear Admiral Mary Landry, United States Coast Guard (USCG) Retired.  Mary Landry is the Director of Incident Management and Preparedness at Coast Guard Headquarters.  She is responsible for establishing, developing, and implementing all hazards incident management goals, strategies, policies, and doctrine to meet Coast Guard responsibilities in incident preparedness and response.  Ms. Landry was recently detailed to the White House for one year as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Resilience Policy where she worked on national preparedness and response issues.
