The International Propeller Club recognized the leadership of The Honorable Joe Courtney with its 38th annual Salute to Congress award on May 17, 2022 at a reception, 5:30 P.M. and dinner 7:00 P.M. at the Army Navy Country Club, 1700 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, Virginia. The Propeller Club’s Salute to Congress is the maritime industry’s most prestigious and anticipated annual event in the Nation’s Capital. For more than three decades, the Club and its members have recognized Members of Congress who have demonstrated consistent support for the maritime industry and the United States-flag Merchant Marine and, by extension, honors the entire Congress for its support of our industry. Announcing the selection of Congressman Courtney as this year’s honoree, International President C. James Patti stated that “During his time in Congress, Chairman Courtney has been a forceful and outspoken advocate for all segments of the maritime industry. Throughout his career, he has played a key role in the enactment of numerous maritime legislative initiatives and has worked tirelessly to ensure that the programs and policies important to our industry are funded, implemented and enforced.” For additional details about the 2022 Salute to Congress, please contact International Propeller Club Associate Executive Director Cheryl Rothbart at [email protected] _______ History of the Salute: You can see a list of past recipients of the Salute to Congress Award here. |
