General Membership Meeting
The NSBC General Membership Meeting was held in conjunction with IBWSS on Sunday, March 24, 2019. We value this opportunity to celebrate our shared mission to advance recreational boating safety and provide you with important updates about the NSBC.
Chris Stec, NSBC Board Chair, shared about the development of the NSBC 2020-2024 Strategic Plan, and the staff provided updates on programs. And, of course, there was some fun with a trivia game with members. Please review the meeting minutes and email any updates or comments to dcorish@safeboatingcouncil.org. The next General Membership Meeting will be at the NASBLA Annual Conference on September, 29, 2019 in Anchorage, AK.
