Annual Luncheon – Capital City Club Atlanta

Join us on November 5, 2026, at the Capital City Club in Atlanta, Georgia, for our Annual Luncheon. This longstanding tradition brings our community together for an afternoon of fellowship, camaraderie, and an opportunity to hear from an accomplished leader with a distinguished record of service.

Guest Speaker: Major General John M. Croley, USMC (Ret.)

We are honored to welcome Major General John M. Croley, United States Marine Corps (Retired), as our guest speaker.

Major General Croley retired from the Marine Corps on July 1, 2013, after a distinguished career spanning more than three decades. A 1977 graduate of the University of South Carolina, he was commissioned through the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps and designated a Naval Aviator in 1979.

Throughout his career, Major General Croley served in numerous operational, command, and senior leadership assignments. His service included combat operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, command of the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, and leadership roles with U.S. Marine Corps Forces South and U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command. As Commander of U.S. Marine Forces South, he worked to strengthen partnerships throughout Latin America and advance regional security cooperation, humanitarian assistance, and disaster response capabilities.

His extensive experience in aviation, operational planning, joint operations, and senior military leadership makes him a distinguished addition to this year's luncheon program.
