PRESIDENT

Brianna Linderholm

I grew up on Lake Superior. I am a volunteer with the Duluth Sail and Power Squadron educating others about boater safety. I am from Superior, Wisconsin.

VICE PRESIDENT

Blake Litz

I am currently a fourth year at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. I am an Eagle Scout and on my free time I greatly enjoy fishing, backpacking, camping, and canoeing. If there is one thing I have learned to value from a young age, it is that the world and it's inhabitants are to be valued greatly. To me this means the preservation of it's wilderness and natural beauty.

TREASURER

Jon Brausch

Jon hails from Cleveland, Ohio and is attending Great Lakes Maritime Academy to pursue a career as a Licensed Officer on the Great Lakes. In his free time, he enjoys being outdoors hiking, fishing, and doing amateur photography, which drew him to keeping the Great Lakes clean and safe.

Fleet Maintenance
