FORCE BLUE: One Team, One Fight

Date/Time: Tuesday, November 19th at 6 p.m.

Meeting Location: South Shore Grille, 2800 Marina Bay Dr., League City TX 77573
Schedule: 6 p.m. order dinner; 6:30 p.m. announcement & social; 7 p.m. presentation

Jim Ritterhoff, Executive Director, Co-Founder team, will share the (20-30 min) story of
FORCE BLUE — the only nonprofit organization in the world that retrains and redeploys Special Operations veterans and military-trained combat divers to work alongside scientists and environmentalists on marine conservation missions.

Established as a 501c3 nonprofit organization in 2016, FORCE BLUE seeks to address two seemingly unrelated problems — the rapidly declining health of our planet’s marine resources and the difficulty returning combat veterans have in adjusting to civilian life — through one, mission-focused program. By uniting the community of Special Operations veterans with the world of marine science and conservation, FORCE BLUE has created a transpartisan model of caring, cooperation and positive change with the power to restore lives and restore the planet.

An avid SCUBA diver and lifelong environmentalist, Jim previously served on the Board of
Directors of the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) and was named “2019 Sea Hero of the Year” by Scuba Diving Magazine and the Seiko Watch Corporation for his work with FORCE BLUE.
