United States Coast Guard Auxiliary - Public Affairs

 

Steven White joined the Auxiliary in 2009, mainly because he wanted to give back. Steven had missed his time in the ARMY and missed being part of the team. He joined the Flotilla in Lake Lanier, Ga and started to gain a better understanding of the Auxiliary and its mission. He was asked to join the National Public Affairs Directorate as a Branch Assistant for Social Media. After a year in that position he was then asked to fill in as Branch Chief Video Services. For the past two and a half years he has covered multiple stories, two Commandants, covering the 75th anniversary, then 2015. Steven was asked to become the Division Chief Creative Services overseeing four Branches for Audio, Graphic, Photo, and Video. In 2018 he became the Deputy Director for Public Affairs, overseeing three Divisions that makeup the support side to the Directorate until 2020. At that time he transferred to Emergency Management and worked with the Office of Emergency Management and Preparedness on their Social Media team. In 2022 Steven took the Deputy Director for support job back as his love for Public Affairs never went away.
