100 percent of MRAA Board contributes to BoatPAC
The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas is proud to announce today that 100 percent of the MRAA Board of Directors has contributed to BoatPAC, the federal political action committee representing the recreational boating industry.
The joint PAC fund of the MRAA, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and the Association of Marina Industries (AMI), BoatPAC’s mission is to support federal candidates that champion the recreational boating community and help propel its agenda in the halls of Congress.
“BoatPAC is the most effective vehicle the boating industry uses to ensure that the MRAA and our partners remain at the table and engaged in all conversations that impact the well-being of our industry,” says Matt Gruhn, MRAA President. “The MRAA board continues to demonstrate its leadership in contributing to this mission and hopes that all boat dealers and others throughout the marine industry will follow suit and keep our industry’s advocacy efforts strong.”
To learn more about BoatPAC and how you can get involved, please contact MRAA Government Relations Manager Chad Tokowicz at [email protected] or NMMA’s Senior Director of Political Advocacy and Engagement, Erica Crocker at [email protected].
