NASBLA is excited to announce the 15th annual session of the Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Leadership Academy. This program is designed to foster the development of future leaders within NASBLA and prepare members for roles in the recreational boating safety and security community.


The NASBLA RBS Leadership Academy offers unique learning opportunities where participants engage in interactive events, collaborate in group discussions, and connect with peers as part of a cohort. Through hands-on experiences and visual examples, participants will gain valuable insights into the diverse aspects of recreational boating safety.


The program provides a comprehensive understanding of the community while offering an unparalleled opportunity to interact with new Boating Law Administrators (BLAs) and established leaders from a range of backgrounds. Graduates of the NASBLA RBS Leadership Academy will be well-equipped to serve and lead within their states, NASBLA, and the broader National Recreational Boating Safety Community.

"The Leadership Academy was very useful and thought provoking for me.  Through the years, I have seen bits and pieces of this puzzle we call boating safety, but to see them all come together and explained how they commingle was beyond useful to me and my career...  All the student’s skillsets were useful to the other participants in many ways.  I truly have a greater appreciation and understanding for how we can all work together and affect positive change in our states."
