Rhode Island Commodore

Rhode Island Commodore, ''formally'' Commodore of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is Rhode Island's highest honor, and an honorary title bestowed upon individuals by approval of the Governor of Rhode Island. It is not a military rank, requires no duties, and carries with it no pay or other compensation. However, the Rhode Island Commodores are organized as a non-profit, non-partisan organization with the purpose "to assist and stimulate economic enterprise within Rhode Island by direct action through education, economic promotion, and hospitality."〔By-Laws of the Rhode Island Commodores. Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, 315 Iron Horse Way, Providence, RI 02908〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Rhode Island Commodores )
== Organizational history ==
The Rhode Island Commodores was established in 1968 by then governor John H. Chafee. Commissions as a Rhode Island Commodore have always been given to prominent citizens who are business or civic leaders in Rhode Island upon nomination by a commodore and appointment by the governor.〔 The Governor of Rhode Island, currently Gina Raimondo, serves as commander-in-chief of the Commodores and the organization led by its admiral, currently Colin P. Kane and its board of directors. It is administered by the quasi-public Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, and its director, currently Marcel A. Valois, serves as vice admiral and as an ''ex officio'' member of the board of directors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colin P. Kane Appointed Admiral of Rhode Island Commodores )〕 As of 2011, there are about 260 Rhode Island Commodores.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rhode Island Commodores Support Rhode Island Business Plan Competition 2011 )〕 Prominent speakers are often featured at meetings of the Commodores, but in 2011 the Rhode Island press criticized the organization for their long-held policy of excluding reporters from their privately held meetings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Reporters barred from Chaffee speech )
