U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY
Randy has been an active member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary since 1991, serving as the District Commodore in 2009 – 2010 and overseeing over 1,100 volunteers. He led a significant reorganization in line with the Coast Guard’s Modernization Plan. In 2001, he founded the Waukegan Water Safety Association (WWSA) to support local Auxiliary units. He has received numerous awards, including the Ninth Coast Guard District’s Captain David P. Dobbins Award for excellence in Search and Rescue and the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Public Service.
WAUKEGAN WATER SAFETY ASSOCIATION
Waukegan Water Safety Association (WWSA) was formed by Randy in 2001 to support the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary with resources not otherwise available to its uniformed, all-volunteer membership. WWSA’s nonprofit status allows it to raise awareness and solicit funding for Auxiliary programs, missions, and operations. The Auxiliary units are largely funded by their members, with minimal financial support from the Coast Guard. No assets are supplied by the Coast Guard, so all physical resources are acquired, owned, and operated by individual members of the unit.
NAVY PIER MARINA
The concept of a marina at Navy Pier was born decades ago by avid boaters. Perfected in 2016 as the preeminent transient marina on the Great Lakes, Navy Pier Marina was envisioned by developer Randy Podolsky, a born-and-raised Chicago entrepreneur out of a burning desire for a convenient and well-located Chicago boating destination that could offer recreational boaters short-term, transient docking with convenient access to dining, lodging, and entertainment.
