James Muldoon Honored for Contributions to Sport, Education, and Boating Safety

Receives Governor’s Chesapeake Bay Ambassador Award

(St. Mary’s City, MD) August 18, 2010—More than two dozen sailing and boating-related organizations, including the U.S. Coast Guard, Special Olympics Maryland, and US SAILING, recently joined together to honor James P. Muldoon, avid sailor and community leader, for his commitment, leadership, and achievements in the field of recreational boating and boating safety. Muldoon, who lives in Washington , D.C. , and Bethesda , is founder and CEO of METCOR, a government relations and high technology training company.

Sheila Hixson, chair of the Ways and Means Committee of the Maryland House of Delegates, presided over the surprise tribute, which was held at St. Mary’s College of Maryland on Aug. 7 during the Governor’s Cup Yacht Race weekend. “We have no doubt that Mr. Muldoon will make many more contributions to the recreational boating community in years to come, but we wanted to take this opportunity to thank him for all he has done over the past four decades,” Hixson said.

Captain Mark Rizzo, chief of the Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety for the U.S. Coast Guard, called Muldoon “one of the Coast Guard’s most caring and compassionate partners.” He went on to praise Muldoon’s support for the Coast Guard Foundation and his 11 years of service as chairman of the National Boating Safety Advisory Council.
