Collaboration and Celebration Marblehead

Collaboration: NEW DAY AND PLACE!  April 13 BOSTON YACHT CLUB! 1:00 to 5:30 

  .  . .  .  

We are going to gather at BOSTON Yacht Club for our Collaboration Working Sessions.  We will begin with Organizers, then roll into athletes and finish with funding solutions .  You are encouraged to participate in all three sessions but can pick and choose for schedulng.

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.  2:30-4:00)

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? (4-5:00)

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?   (1-2:30)

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

We're leaving a half an hour at the end for socializing
