WI invites the BBA to discuss minorities and boating.
Boating Writers International (BWI) invited the BBA to participate in discussions, exploring the barriers that minorities (Hispanics, African-Americans and Women) face in boating. The discussions were held October 31, 2008, at the Bahia Mar Hotel Complex, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The attendees included numerous writers, editors and publishers from across the country that focused on the boating industry. The BBA presentation included "real" and "perceived" barriers to African-Americans and other diverse groups becoming involved in boating. The discussions were extremely beneficial in highlighting actions that would be effective in addressing these perceptions. The Boating Writers International included the BBA in their November 2008 BWI Journal.
