RECOGNITION PROGRAM
It is important to support our community and culture by acknowledging the noteworthy efforts and achievements of our members who consistently “go the extra mile”. Recognition can be as simple and low-key as a letter of appreciation to acknowledge heartfelt action taken to make a difference in the community. In other instances, recognition may include a public address, featured article, or plaque to commemorate an event or occasion.
The Navy Supply Corps Foundation emphasizes public recognition for those who step out of the crowd to improve the world around them. Doing so helps fulfill the individual who made a difference, as well as spotlight the example we all should follow as community citizens.
The Foundation’s recognition program goes beyond members on active duty. We offer special recognition to retired and former officers who have distinguished themselves in the civilian sector. Many Supply Corps officers excel beyond the uniform, achieving great success in discovery, mentorship, business, authorship, political careers, and more. Our Distinguished Alumni Program is part of our larger Recognition Program, and it features a select handful of achievers whose significant success in the public or private sector are attributable to their roots in the US Navy Supply Corps.
RECOGNITION OF OUR DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI
Carl was recognized for his experience as a global business executive leading customer-driven digital and technology transformations for more than 30 years. He served as CEO of kwx/Keller Williams, Auto Nation, and 24Hour Fitness, and in senior management roles at The Home Depot and Circuit City. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy (BS) and a member of the U.S. Naval Academy 1987 Elite 8 Basketball team, Carl was commissioned as a Navy Supply Corps Officer in 1987 and served active duty until 1992. “The privilege to serve in the Navy Supply Corps was an experience that would shape my leadership journey forever,” said Liebert. “The lessons learned of the importance of taking care of people, and the sacrifices our spouses and families make on behalf of those who serve a higher purpose, have made all the difference on my journey still today.”
While in Newport, Carl toured NSCS led by CAPT Jason Warner, SC, USN, the school’s commanding officer, and addressed students and staff. Carl shared The 4 C’s Leadership Principles: Courage, Commitment, Character, and Curiosity. Speaking of Character, Carl said, “Take care of getting your people promoted and they will take care of the mission for you.” He learned this lesson in his first assignment as a Supply Corps officer and it served as the foundation for further professional achievements. Carl went on to discuss the elements of Curiosity. “Never ask anything of anyone that you won’t do yourself,” he said. Later in the afternoon, Carl attended a celebratory luncheon at the New York Yacht Club and toured the Naval War College, hosted by CAPT (Ret) George Lang, the War College foundation’s CEO and VADM Shoshana Chatfield, the college’s president.
Honoring Those Who Excel with Distinction
Established in 1989, the Distinguished Alumni Program is one of the Navy Supply Corps Foundation’s hallmark programs as it identifies and recognizes retired and former Navy Supply Corps officers who have gone on to distinguish themselves by obtaining significant success in the public or private sector.
