This year, the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its founding! To mark the occasion, we will be hosting special programs and events throughout 2026.
The celebrations start with a special panel event on Wednesday, March 4th! All are welcome to join us at 1:30 pm EDT for a discussion with past and current USCBS Board members: Cori Wegener, founder of USCBS; Dr. Patty Gerstenblith, USCBS President; COL (ret) Dick Jackson; and Perry McGowan, USCBS Treasurer. The panelists will discuss the very beginnings of USCBS, why it was created, and the role of the organization today.
This is a free and public webinar, but registration is required. Please register here and direct any questions to hq@uscbs.org.
