"The more things change, the more they stay the same; for the second time in my career here at the BoatUS Foundation, I find myself deep in the midst of a major online course rebuild. The new technologies that we are implementing are so exciting though. I can't wait to unveil these new courses."
"Our boat donation program is growing at a steady pace, with nearly 1,000 inquiries logged this year, doubling the number of inquiries the previous year. Most donated boats that are accepted, are sold outright with a certified partner-broker for profit. A few are kept for on-water-training program purposes and others are improved to maximize donor and resale value."
"With the help of all the staff, we have deployed new technology and process improvements for On-Water Training, EPIRB, fundraising, email, boat donation, Life Jacket Loaner, brochures, monofilament recycling and the online state course."
"This past year has brought new and exciting projects, the most notable being the creation and implementation of a new EPIRB rental system."
"2019 has been a year of expansion for the BoatUS On-Water Training program. We’ve more than doubled our event production over last year, going from 15 events in 2018, to over 40 events in 2019, totaling more than 80 training days, on the water."
"Social Media continues to be a vital tool for cross-channel marketing to On-Water trainees, donors, and course takers."
"Part of my responsibilities is to always look for ways to improve processes or internal controls. This year I enhanced the internal control procedure for making credit card purchases in the office."
"In 2019 We began extensive work on our new interactive online course. Whether you learn best by reading, listening or interacting visually, each style is incorporated into this new course. I can't wait for everyone to experience it."
