by Tom Hubbell, President of US Sailing
The Sailing Leadership Forum in San Diego last February brought over
600 sailors together to share ideas and inspiration. There are a lot of savvy volunteers
and US Sailing staff who know about strong programs. US Sailing creates the
foundation for sharing that intellectual wisdom. This chemistry gelled into a
three-day festival of ideas and sailing enthusiasm.
The US Sailing Board, consisting of six women and nine men, meets three times a year in person and monthly by phone. The typical phone conference takes two hours! Sailors on the board have distinguished backgrounds that represent all areas of the sport. They are engaged in growing the sport and supporting racing, and they are simply good people with whom to work. Membership is growing and we only use black ink for the bottom line.
