The Board of Directors for the United States Merchant Marine Veterans of WWII (USMMVWWII) hold their public business meetings on the second Saturday of every month in the Officer’s Mess aboard the Lane Victory beginning at 0900 hrs until 1030 hrs. This meeting is where ship and corporate business is discussed and scheduled guests are allowed to address the board with concerns, issues, and interests. This meeting is open only to USMMVWWII members.
At 1030 hrs the meeting is moved to the general crew meeting (also open only to USMMVWWII crew) where further business is conducted and the crew is allowed to vote on issues with a crew quorum present.
Any persons interested in addressing the board or addressing the crew may request being placed on the agenda by writing to President@LaneVictory.org or Secretary@LaneVictory.org. While the meetings are open, they are limited on time, consequently only scheduled speakers are recognized.
