Today, Rear Admiral John Nadeau, the new commander of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Eighth District, presented at a BGR Breakfast Briefing entitled “Your Coast Guard Today – Meet Your Neighbor.” His presentation described the many missions of the Coast Guard and its Eighth District, which is headquartered in New Orleans and covers all or part of 26 states, the Mississippi River system, and the Gulf Coast and its ports. BGR expresses its appreciation to Admiral Nadeau and to our attendees for their presence and participation in the Q&A that followed his remarks. We are grateful to IBERIABANK for sponsoring BGR’s Breakfast Briefing Series and making these events free to the public.
