Robert C. Canright
Candidate's Statement for the Office of Department Commandant

Robert Canright Candidate for Department Commandant

Members of Dept of California, Marine Corps League.

Marines of the Dept. of California;

It is my intention to seek the nomination for the Office of Commandant, Department of CA, Marine Corps League.

I would hope to have the support of all members in the Department. I pledge that I will strive to improve communications within the Dept., in both directions.

I hope to see MORE involvement by Detachments in Department functions and operations. The constant involvement of ONLY a few leads to poor morale and dissatisfaction in day to day operations.

I hope to have a BROAD representation from all Detachments in the make-up of the Department both elected and appointed. It is past time where a small segment of the membership holds sway in Departmental operations/decisions.

I will be seeking volunteers to serve in the Appointed Officer positions.

I implore all Detachments to consider nominating at least one member to serve in a Departmental position.  Take a look at the Department Website for an overview of
Committees and other appointed positions. We need to come together, heal the fractures and look to the future of the Department of California.

We need representation from all segments/areas of the State in order to function as your representatives in considering your input for both the Department and the League.

I ask each of you to join me in an effort of restoring the Department of California to its rightful place of Leadership in the Marine Corps League.

Your suggestions are welcome and may be transmitted to me at:
