Portsmouth, R.I. (June 15, 2015) – Join us for Sailing Leadership Forum 2016, a US Sailing signature event, at the Hilton San Diego Resort, February 4-6, 2016. The Early Registration Sale ends August 15, 2015.
Sailing Leadership Forum 2016 offers a unique experience for leaders representing all areas of sailing to connect on important issues facing our sport. The Forum features a new line-up of insightful presentations that address the many relevant topics in sailing.
Individuals from sail training and education, yacht club and sailing organization leaders, race officials, and industry professionals will meet and learn from one-another in the surroundings of this spectacular Southern California venue.
The Sailing Leadership Forum will feature lively and fun social events, hands-on activities, exhibitor displays and demonstrations, pre- and post- forum clinics and seminars for instructor certification, race management, and much more.
“The Forum is a great example of what can happen when we all align around common objectives, and how we can bring disparate interests and groups together in a collaborative environment to focus on better serving sailors, improving their overall experience, and increasing opportunities for newcomers,” said Jack Gierhart, Executive Director of US Sailing.
All sailors have something in common – the importance of keeping sailing vibrant and strong for future generations of sailors.
If you missed out on the inaugural Sailing Leadership Forum in 2014 or inspired to keep the momentum going strong and advance these conversations, please meet us in San Diego. Register today!
