The Coast Guard Foundation this week announced that six new trustees joined its board this year, bringing the total number of active trustees and directors to 80. Charlotte Hobaugh Gentry, Jim Losi, John Peacock, William Thiele, Delbert “Del” Wilkins and Christina Calhoun Zubowicz will each serve three-year terms. Chairman Thomas A. Allegretti leads the board.

“We welcome these outstanding individuals to our Board of Trustees,” Susan Ludwig, president of the Coast Guard Foundation, said in a statement. “Their support will be important as we continue to expand our programs and reach even more Coast Guard members and their families.”

The new board members have business, industry and government service backgrounds and will play a key role in guiding the Foundation’s work to support Coast Guard members and their families.
