We’re all in this together, and the IBWSS conference is a valuable time where we can all collaborate and advance the recreational boating and water safety mission,” said Mitch Strobl, VP of Business Development for Boat Ed. “We all share a common interest of keeping the waters safer for all. The NSBC, NWSC, and NASBLA are instrumental drivers of that mission; the impact these organizations have is immeasurable, and we’re thankful to join arms and march forward with them.”
“We are excited to have Boat Ed as the Premier Sponsor for the IBWSS. Their support will help further our shared interest in new boating and water safety trends and initiatives at this year’s IBWSS,” said Richard Moore, Chair of the NSBC.
