An Interview with Pamela Healy
- Why do you want to be a member of US Sailing’s Board of Directors? I want to give back in a meaningful and impactful way.
- How can community sailing centers, yacht clubs and other sailing organizations collaborate with each other more on key initiatives to grow sailing? We need to create a positive and trustworthy connection between US Sailing and sailing organizations. We also need to have a vision and roadmap for those that cannot afford boat ownership.

- How have US Sailing’s programs and services impacted your overall sailing experience? I enjoyed the educational opportunities and the support when I was campaigning for the Olympics.
