Dear Friends and Partners,

With 2024 coming to a close, the CMCF would like to express its thanks for your support throughout the year. As we look back on the marine sector’s achievements this past year, we’re grateful for the many contributions made towards our shared mission to build a diverse, inclusive and future-ready workforce. In January, we’ll be sharing our annual results of our projects and activities, along with our plans for next year. We look forward to the opportunities to come in the New Year!

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or your own unique traditions, we wish you all a very happy holiday season.

Best wishes,

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
