About the Foundation

The Foundation has a Board of Directors that is dedicated to carrying out the objective of supporting the renovation of an official command museum at the Great Lakes Naval Station. The 24 member Board includes retired Navy personnel, including three Admirals who served as Base Commanders, former Navy WAVES (Women in Volunteer Service), attorneys, retired banking and other business executives, the local Regional Superintendent of Schools, and other community leaders who believe that the dual goals of restoring an historically significant building and honoring the tradition of military service are important and relevant to the community. The Association also has an Advisory Board that includes prominent local residents with national reputations. The Advisory Board members include retired Navy Captain and Apollo 13 Astronaut James Lovell, reserve Navy officer and Congressman, Mark Kirk.
