Agenda
Proposed meeting agenda for April 13, 2026.
9:00 a.m.—Call to Order (Open to Public)
9:00-10:50 a.m.—Opening Meeting (Open to Public)
10:50-11:00 a.m.—Break (Open to Public)
11:00-12:00 a.m.—Closed Meeting (Closed to Public)
The closed meeting from 11:00-12:00 p.m. ET will consist of discussions of new and pending administrative or minor disciplinary infractions and non-judicial punishments involving midshipmen attending the Naval Academy to include but not limited to, individual honor or conduct violations within the Brigade, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. For this reason, a portion of this meeting will be closed to the public, as the discussion of such information cannot be adequately segregated from other topics, which precludes opening the closed meeting to the public.
The Principal Deputy General Counsel has determined in writing that the meeting shall be partially closed to the public because the discussions during the closed meeting from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. ET will be concerned with matters protected under sections 552b(c) (5), (6), and (7) of title 5, U.S.C.
Written Statements:
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3), interested persons may submit a written statement for consideration at any time, but it should be received by the Designated Federal Officer at least five business days prior to the meeting date so that the comments may be made available to the Board for their consideration prior to the meeting.
Written statements should be submitted via mail to 121 Blake Rd., Annapolis, MD 21402.
Please note that since the Board operates under the provisions of the FACA, as amended, all submitted comments and public presentations may be treated as public documents and may be made available for public inspection, including, but not limited to, being posted on the board website.
