This conference offers a unique opportunity to connect, share best practices, and explore innovative approaches to support sailors and their communities. With a focus on strategic topics like fundraising, program development, and foundation governance, the Summit will foster thoughtful dialogue and peer-to-peer collaboration. Participants will come away with clear and immediate ideas they can take home and transform into action.
