Quick Links:
Who can apply?
Any Coast Guard member may apply (Active Duty, Reserve, Auxiliary, Civilian, Contractor, NAF, etc.).
What is expected of a DAC member?
DAC members are expected to attend biannual meetings in Washington, DC where the council will review new issues for applicability, conduct initial issue research, and present past research to the Commandant. Between meetings, DAC members will perform research on specific issues to deem their impact on the fleet and to draft recommendations to correct them. Members should expect to spend approximately one hour or so a week working on DAC material.
DAC members are also expected to liaise with the units around them regarding what the DAC is doing and solicit for concerns that Coast Guard members feel should be addressed by the DAC.
Members who miss two or more meetings will be dismissed from the DAC.
How do I apply?
Active duty, reserve, and civilian members should submit a memo that lists why you want to join the DAC. This memo should include a job history and an endorsement from your commanding officer. Click here for an example.
Auxiliary members may submit a business letter explaining why they want to join the DAC, a job history, and an endorsement from their District Commodore. Click here for an example.
Any application without an endorsement will not be considered.
Where do I submit my application?
The preferred method is for packets to be scanned and emailed to SKC Anita Vincent. Packets may also be sent by mail:
US Coast Guard Headquarters
COMDT (CG-12B): SKC Vincent
1900 Half St. SW, Suite J-8-0735
Washington, DC 20593
When will the Selection Board meet?
Next meeting date TBD
How can I find the selection results?
Selection results will be sent out via ALCOAST and will be posted on this site.
What happens if I'm selected as an alternate?
Alternates will be picked up if a current member resigns or is dismissed from the council. Alternates selected to become permanent members will be contacted by a member of the Diversity Staff. Alternate status only lasts until the next Selection Board where they must resubmit a package in order to be considered.
Who can I contact with questions?
Questions about the DAC may be sent to SKC Anita Vincent, (202) 475-5251.
