The Diversity Directorate works with the entire Coast Guard community to support the mission and vision of the National Commodore, and to ensure that diversity, in its many forms, is understood, respected and valued. The Diversity Directorate leads efforts to conceptualize, assess, and cultivate diversity as an organizational resource.

The Coast Guard Auxiliary will continue to meet America's ever-changing needs through increased attention to recreational boating safety, security of America’s waterways and improved methods of educating the boating public.
