Past Commodore Dan Maxim (l) received the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Meritorious Service Award from Rear Commodore Central Ron Boice (r) at the November 2005 Division 6 meeting. The award reads as follows:

"For exceptionally meritorious service from 1 November 2004 to 1 August 2005 while serving as a member of the Auxiliary Administrative Support Team. In response to the growing need to express the Auxiliary's strategic goals in clear and concise action plans, the National Commodore tasked the Team to develop essential documents to formulate the way ahead in the post-9-11 environment. Demonstrating keen insight and artful diplomatic mastery, the Team composed the Auxiliary Maritime Domain Awareness White Paper.

This strategic document,comprehensively defined Auxiliary relationships with active duty and reserve forces to cooperatively meet maritime domain awareness responsibilities. The Team thoroughly researched, wrote, designed, and edited the Auxiliary's first Business Plan that defined essential strategic objectives, established specific timelines, and identified key milestones to ensure the most efficient utilization of limited Auxiliary resources to support Coast Guard missions. Exhibiting similar professionalism and expertise, the Team developed the National Commodore's detailed presentation on the Auxiliary's readiness and strategic direction for the 2004 Coast Guard Flag Conference. This presentation received considerable praise from Coast Guard Flag Officers for its influential account of Auxiliary readiness, capability, and determination. The Team also provided invaluable administrative assistance by designing the innovative National Commodore's web site, creating the National Commodore's newsletter "On Course," and writing several inspiring articles for the Auxiliary magazine, "Navigator." The dedication, pride, and professionalism displayed by the Coast Guard Auxiliary Administrative Support Team are in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Coast Guard and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary."
