Monthly USSA Networking Event April 9th,2009 LMC Hosts

Mayor Jack SeilerIn 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.

Networking Event March 12th, 2009

Come join us for the USSA Member’s Networking Event, on Thursday, March 12th, 2009! It’s the 2nd Thursday again!  We missed seeing everyone last month.  We were “networking” at the Yacht & Brokerage Show in Miami.  Now it’s time to gather the clan again!

When:
Thursday, March 12, 2009

Where:
Seventh Street Wine Company
701 S. Federal Hwy.,
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

When:
6:00 – 7:00, light snacks

Why:
This is a great opportunity for you to meet & greet your fellow USSA members, perhaps to bring a new potential member-company to learn about the USSA or maybe to hear some insider tidbits from an industry professional.
This month, Mike French, a member of the USSA, International Yacht Training, will share his perspective on the changing marketplace regarding “crewing.”  In these times of unprecedented change, crew (like all of us) are struggling with how to market themselves, to re-invent themselves and stay in the marketplace.

Mike also promises to tell us more about IYT’s Boat Handling Competition, even promising to bring an 8′ boat.  Can’t wait to see what he’s got up his sleeve.

Join us for sure! March 12th!

Wine and Cheese with the USSA, 6-7 PM.
