The document outlines priorities and plans for an organization to commemorate sea service heroes, study naval history, preserve artifacts and monuments, promote camaraderie, and raise funds. Key priorities include completing Phase II of the Navy D-Day Monument, events for the War of 1812 bicentennial, and conferences on maritime heritage. Fundraising efforts include developing compelling cases for giving, membership drives, and establishing donor databases. Growing and rejuvenating membership in local chapters is also a priority by focusing on leadership, mission-driven activities, and inter-organizational support.
