Help NMMA Spotlight Boating’s Role in America’s 250th

The anniversary, along with efforts tied to the Department of the Interior's Great American Expedition, offered a meaningful opportunity to highlight the role boating plays in connecting Americans to the water, strengthening communities and supporting stewardship of the country's natural resources. Recreational boating is also a distinctly American manufacturing story, with a strong U.S. production footprint and broad economic impact for businesses and communities nationwide.

NMMA is compiling member stories and examples that reflect the industry's collective participation in this once-in-a-generation anniversary. Examples may include on-water celebrations, local community events, volunteer projects, partnerships with parks or public lands, or other efforts that highlight boating's connection to America's outdoor recreation heritageThese efforts may be shared in future communications to help spotlight the many ways the recreational boating industry is celebrating America's history, waterways and outdoor traditions.

Members are encouraged to contact NMMA's Bryan Spadaro with details on events, activities or initiatives tied to America's 250th anniversary.
