We make boating affordable!
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I am truly honored to have been elected by the NMLA Board of Directors to serve as your President for the coming year and look forward to the opportunities ahead. Here are just a few highlights:
2019 marks the 40th Anniversary of the NMLA. We are extremely proud of the work we have done as an association in making marine financing widely available throughout the United States, and thank everyone who has helped us continue to grow and serve the boating community. We are planning a big celebration during the NMLA Annual Conference this November 10-12 at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, FL, including numerous guest speakers, break-out discussions on pertinent industry topics, and of course plenty of opportunities to network with new and long-time industry friends. Please continue to check for email announcements and updates to this website in the weeks and months to come. This is one event you really don't want to miss!
Next on our schedule is the all important American Boating Congress May 13-19, 2019 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC. Once again, NMLA is a proud co-sponsor of the event and many NMLA Officers/Directors and members will be on hand. Attending ABC and participating in Capitol Hill visits with others from your state is the best way to educate your representatives on issues that impact your business. CLICK HERE if you're interested in joining us.
Data is currently being gathered and analyzed for NMLA's 2019 Statistical Report, the best compilation of marine lending statistics available anywhere in the U.S. This report is a must for any company or investor involved in the marine finance arena and will be available for purchase on this website in early Summer 2019.
And finally, many thanks to the 40 participants, instructors and panelists who recently attended our Marine Lending Workshop in Savannah, GA (March 3-5). If you haven't had the opportunity to join us for one of our Workshops, or perhaps know of folks new to our industry who might benefit from this valuable 2-day program, our next event will take place March 1-3, 2020 in Phoenix, AZ.
Thank you for supporting the National Marine Lenders Association. Best wishes for a prosperous and safe boating season.
John Haymond, President
