Collaboration and Celebration Marblehead

Collaboration: NEW DAY AND PLACE!  April 13 BOSTON YACHT CLUB! 1:00 to 6:00 

  .  . .  .  

We are going to gather at Eastern Yacht Club for the Collaboration Working Sessions.  We will have an opening session and then split the Athletes and Organizers into two sessions and all come back together for the Funders .  You will be able to self identify as an athlete or an organizer on the day.

For the Celebration we are working on a bit of a fundraiser for the local junior sailing - the oldest in the country (well Seawanhaka claims that too so we can talk).

There will be three working sessions (explained here) where we will roll up our sleeves and get to work on sharing information, thoughts, questions and tips. This is moderated by Oakcliff but we are very much looking forward to sharing what we think we know, listening and learning with all of the local organizers and athletes and as we go around the country we will continue to share  cumulative results.

Please Rank Your Best Session in the registration form.

a) Athletes of all ages - What are your dreams? Plans? Options? What needs to be considered? What are the give and takes? Make an informed decision about your path forward to Olympics, Big Boats, Boat Ownership or a Career on the water. 

b) Parents and those planning and providing funding - It's not just the parents. Do you have a Foundation? Where are other funding sources? Is corporate sponsorship an option? Corporate hospitality events? Co-working options? 

c) Organizers, Waterfront Directors, Coaches, Club Managers, Fleet Captains, Opti Fleet Leaders etc. etc. - What do we do best?  Define our lanes? Someone else in the area keen to take something off my plate? Go for it!  How can we help each other?  More isn't always better? Should we go slow to go fast? Small to be better?  

Please register soon so we can set up for maximum energy and efficiency.

Celebration! 

We are pretty sure this is going to be a fun event for a good cause - Stand by to Stand by.
