Event Navigation
Our local military leaders do so much for our country and proudly represent San Diego’s great military legacy. Join us for the 72nd annual Flag Ball and enjoy the opportunity to meet with, recognize, and thank our service men and women for their commitment to our country. Plus, treat your clients, guests, or spouse to a festive night out with live music, a gourmet dinner and the opportunity to thank San Diego’s military community.
The evening will also feature a keynote address from White House Fellow and US Marine Corps Reserve Major, Katelyn van Dam, and CAPT Janessa Goldbeck.
Katelyn served over ten years in active duty including assignments in Afghanistan and counter-piracy operations in the Horn of Africa and Gulf of Aden. Her leadership in the military and as a civilian also earned her the American Red Cross Tiffany Circle Distinguished Woman of the Year in 2015.
Janessa is a San Diego native and currently serves as the Operations Officer with Facilities Maintenance Division at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. Before earning her commission in the Marines, Janessa worked on communications and advocacy campaigns focusing on the intersection between national security, international development, human rights, and technology. She spent time on Capitol Hill, in Africa, and at the Pentagon. She earned her commission in 2012, and after being promoted to the rank of Captain, she was deployed with the Black Sea Rotational Force and Marine Rotational Forces – Europe, with marines and sailors, split between Romania and Norway. Her company provided combat service support of ten NATO exercises in seven countries.
