(May 11, 2015) – On May 11-13, 2015 in Washington DC, the National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) will join a broad group of co-hosts to support the American Boating Congress. This year, driven by 2014’s success, numerous industry partners have agreed to co-host ABC, joining the rallying-cry to strengthen the industry’s collective advocacy impact. An engaging lineup of event speakers will feature an influential group of policy specialists and industry authorities, as well as legislative and regulatory officials.
