Appropriate and effective training of our members is key to a highly evolved, dynamic, effective, and efficient organization. Training enables us to become valuable partners with the Coast Guard helping them meet mission objectives. Also, we meet our commitment to being of service not only to the maritime community but the community as a whole.

As a subordinate unit of the National Training Directorate, the mission of District Eight, Eastern Region's Training Department is to make available to every member any training that he or she may need to fulfill their duties as an Auxiliarist.
The goal of your District Training Department for our District Training Conferences is to provide our members who desire to attend a variety of training to fulfill their needs and provide a schedule far enough in advance of the event to assist our members in making decisions on which training to take.
