Our speaker on Tuesday, March 12 is Caitlin Steinberg.
I am a founder, executive director, and chief historian at Operation Green Faces (OGF), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the primary source history of the U.S. Navy UDT and SEALs, specifically from the formation of UDT through the Vietnam War. I have over six years of experience in leading a diverse team of contractors and volunteers, managing fundraising and grant writing, as well as cultivating relationships with key stakeholders and leaders within the Naval Special Operations community.
I am also an award-winning journalist and photographer, with a passion for covering breaking news and documenting stories of resilience and creativity. I received the SPJ James Julian Memorial Award in 2021 for my outstanding reporting, news writing, and podcast production during the 2020 political campaign season. My art pieces and photography have been featured by galleries in San Diego County, the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite National Park, and multiple fine art wedding publications. Additionally, I have produced all of the documentary style oral history content created by Operation Green Faces using Ultra-HD 4k equipment formatted to fit any gallery or exhibit as well as appear in Documentaries and Films.
My mission is to create accessible, imaginative, and intimate experiences for museum visitors, artists, veterans, and students, by merging fine art, mental health services, public education, and oral history. I believe that by celebrating cultural heritage, creative expression, common human experiences, and public history, we can build more resilient communities and foster programs that educate, inspire, and heal.
To close, I am a proud member of the Society of American Archivists, the Oral History Association, and the American Association of State and Local History... I honored to work in this field for the rest of my life.
