Steve Schulze, currently President of Patrona Corporation, was recently recognized for his exceptional leadership and service to the country prior to his retirement from the federal government. The citation reads, “The President of the United States of America has conferred on Steven Schulze the rank of Meritorious Executive in the Senior Executive Service for sustained superior accomplishment in management of programs of the United States Government and for noteworthy achievement of quality and efficiency in the public service.” Meritorious Executive recognition is limited to only 5% of the Senior Executive Service. Mr. Schulze is thankful for the recognition and has found his first year with Patrona equally, if not more challenging and rewarding as his executive experience with NAVSEA.
