GATOR DETACHMENT 990 - MARINE CORPS LEAGUE - GAINESVILLE/ALACHUA |
The position of Commandant is one of responsibility and accountability. The Commandant is tasked with being the Chairman of the Board of Trustees as well as the Chief Executive Officer of the detachment as a corporation. In addition to management skills, a Commandant must employ leadership skills to influence and motivate both the staff and the membership to execute the missions and plans of the detachment. Each Marine who has served as Commandant understands the weight of the position and they have our gratitude for having stepped up to serve as needed.
