WHO WE
ARE The
American Lighthouse Coordinating Committee (ALCC) is a Non-Profit
Corporation composed of a consortium of organizations and individuals
dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and interpretation of
American lighthouses.
The
core of lighthouse community leaders who worked on the lighthouse museum
steering committee saw the benefit in creating an organization that is
part issues forum and part national leadership council. In fact, the
American Lighthouse Coordinating Committee isn’t a traditional
lighthouse heritage or preservation organization, it’s a
consensus-driven group presenting the concerns on lighthouse policy
issues with a unified voice. OUR
MISSION STATEMENT To share our
collective and individual research, knowledge, and education on critical
lighthouse preservation and education issues with the United States
Coast Guard, in addition to other federal, state, and local government officials,
and other lighthouse organizations.
To recognize outstanding leadership in the preservation of lighthouses and interpretation of their history through presentation of the F. Ross Holland Award. The Holland Award stands as the top national lighthouse honor for individuals and organizations in the United States. The ALCC is not intended to replace the functions of its individual constituent organizations, but to serve as an additional and overarching voice of solidarity for the lighthouse community.

Lighthouse Museum Steering Committee, a group consisting of lighthouse
preservationists, educators and administrators of lighthouse sites from
throughout the 
To develop a consensus-based and constituent-based position on issues of
very broad and far reaching significance to the lighthouse community.
To serve as a
central communication/coordination point, keeping ALCC's constituent
member organizations informed of, and educated about, critical issues.
