President's Message |
|
| The
Marine Industries Association of the Treasure Coast (MIATC)
represents the interests of its membership on issues impacting
the marine industry both locally and throughout the state. Our
affiliation with the Marine Industries of Florida (MIAF) and
established relationships with other marine industry chapters
across the state, local and state governments and legislators,
related businesses, and the boating public ensures the continued
strength and vitality of the marine industry and its heritage.
|
| MIATC
supports the protection and preservation of our unique coastal,
inland and ocean water resources and the right to waterway access.
The association is proud to take a leadership role in promoting
and endorsing the Clean Marina/Clean Boatyard Program and other
initiatives that help achieve these goals. |
|
| Our
industry faces many challenges. Two we face this year, hurricane
recovery and the loss of waterfront commercial property to residential
development, will become more important. MIATC assures its membership
a voice in these issues. We also remain dedicated to “keeping
the pleasure in boating” for our future generations. |
| MIATC
is comprised of a volunteer board. I challenge all members to:
take an active role in this association; attend the monthly
membership meetings; volunteer on a committee; consider a leadership
position on the board. Active involvement will give you added
insight into the issues impacting our industry and help keep
you informed of pending legislation. It also offers the opportunity
to network with your fellow peers, exchange information, and
build a stronger understanding and appreciation of our industry. |
