At the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA), we recognize the significant role our regional boating industry plays in driving the national boating economy that contributes over $230 billion annually and supports hundreds of thousands of jobs. To safeguard this success, it’s crucial that we advocate for policies that protect boater access, foster manufacturing competitiveness, and support infrastructure investments. The American Boating Congress (ABC), held May 12 – 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C., is the perfect opportunity to engage directly with policymakers and ensure our industry’s future remains a priority.
Please join Tarin Todd, our Government Affairs Committee Chair, and Jay Jennings, NMTA Vice President and Director of Government Affairs, in D.C. to advocate for the recreational boating industry. With key discussions on tax policy, trade, infrastructure, and environmental regulations underway, ABC 2025 provides valuable opportunities to meet with lawmakers, network with industry leaders, and shape the decisions that will impact the boating community.
