SeaTow Accepting Applications for the Boating Safety Council

The Sea Tow Foundation, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing boating-related accidents and fatalities, is seeking six new members to join its Boating Safety Advisory Council. Council members represent a diverse cross-section of the marine industry and serve as decision-makers, influencers, and subject-matter experts within their respective fields. Each member serves a two-year term.

The Boating Safety Advisory Council plays a vital role in shaping and supporting the Sea Tow Foundation’s safety initiatives, providing strategic guidance and recommendations on key issues such as the use of required and recommended safety equipment, including life jackets, the importance of boater education and training, promoting the designation of a Sober Skipperon every boating trip, and other critical boating safety priorities. Members of the Council also oversee the National Boating Safety Awards, which recognize outstanding marine industry contributions to boating safety.

Applications must be submitted by April 24. Selected applicants will be notified in mid-May, with their first meeting scheduled for July 15.
