Announced this week was the 3Ts Summit: Trade – Tariffs – Taxes, a free virtual event presented by the Soundings Trade Only Group, designed to give boating industry stakeholders timely insights into the evolving global policy landscape. The summit will take place on Wednesday, July 16, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. EST. NMMA’s Robyn Boerstling and Marie-France MacKinnon will take part in the Summit’s panel.

The event will open with a high-level presentation from Malloy McDaniel, Partner at S-3 Group, who will provide a real-time “dashboard” of where things stand on federal tax legislation, trade priorities, and tariff policies. With more than 20 years of experience advising Senate leadership and representing Fortune 500 clients, McDaniel will bring an insider’s view of the intersection between business and government.

The Soundings Trade Only Group’s Michele Goldsmith will then moderate a panel of industry advocacy leaders offering regional perspectives from across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The panel will explore how current and proposed policies are affecting the marine industry across key geographic regions, what businesses should know now, and how to position themselves for future success. Panelists include:

• Robyn Boerstling, Senior Vice President of Government Relations, NMMA
• Marie-France Poirier MacKinnon, Executive Director, NMMA Canada
• Philip Easthill, Secretary-General, European Boating Industry (EBI)
