Mr. RYTERMAN is cited for meritorious service in the performance
of duty as National Auxiliary Treasurer from 1 January 2001 to 31
October 2004. With utmost diligence and fiscal expertise, Mr. RYTERMAN
maintained extremely accurate national accounting records and consistently
generated detailed financial and performance statements for Auxiliary
leadership that facilitated their program management and decision
making. Employing his extensive professional background as a certified
public accountant and his lengthy Auxiliary experience, he developed
the Auxiliary's annual budget proposals including anticipated income
and essential expense projections for the efficient financial operation
of all organizational elements. As the Auxiliary's counterpart and
liaison to the Auxiliary Association, Inc., Mr. RYTERMAN ensured the
effective interplay of both entities. When it became necessary to
tailor the Association's fiscal year to better align with the revised
tenure of Auxiliary National elected leadership, he worked ceaselessly
to adjust respective budgets and record-keeping well in advance of
the first new fiscal year and transparently effect the transition
at all Auxiliary organizational levels. With remarkable initiative,
Mr. RYTERMAN established Auxiliary participation in major trade shows,
and he identified the need for establishment of written policies governing
the equal and fair management of Auxiliary Association, Inc. employees
and their benefit packages. Through his conscientious financial management
and constant personal review, returns on Auxiliary and Auxiliary Association
Inc. investments were appropriately diversified and subsequently maximized
throughout a period typified by considerably wide ranging national
economic conditions. Mr. RYTERMAN's dedication and devotion to duty
are most heartily commended and are in keeping with the highest traditions
of the United States Coast Guard and the United States Coast Guard
Auxiliary. |
