San Diego Military Advisory Council
Advocate. Inform. Connect.
Since 2004, SDMAC has supported our local military community by advancing the partnership and communication between the military, elected officials, and the business community while serving as a strong advocate for those who serve and their families.
Thank you to all who joined us for the 18th Annual SDMAC Achievement Awards, held Friday, August 22 at the Bay View Restaurant, Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. We are honored to recognize this year’s outstanding awardees, whose dedication and service exemplify the best of our Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard and community. A special thanks to our Master of Ceremonies, Earl “The Pearl” Wederbrook…because only a Marine Aviator can land a program that smoothly with just enough turbulence to keep us laughing.
