Monthly USSA Networking Event April 9th,2009 LMC Hosts
In April, Lauderdale Marine Center hosted a 2nd Thursday USSA Networking Event in Fort Lauderdale, where the newly-elected mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Jack Seiler, addressed a group of nearly 150 superyacht industry leaders, stakeholders and advocates. His continued support for the dredging of the ICW and the New River were complemented by his commitment to help facilitate the upgrade and expansion of the boat show facilities at Bahia Mar in order to accommodate large yachts. “The mayor’s remarks were heartening in his acknowledgment of the issues and his support of local initiatives affecting superyachts,” commented John Mann, chair of USSA’s Advocacy Committee.
