NASBLA’s BOAT Program recognizes an instructor whose dedication and teaching style exemplifies the true spirit of “Partners on the Water” as each student touched came away with the importance of the national standard of training, credentialing, and typing vessel operations, and the true interoperability across all federal, state, county, local and tribal jurisdictional lines. The individual has committed to the Strategic Goals of the BOAT Program, and to the safety and security of America’s waterways.
The instructor of the year has demonstrated dedication, commitment, and devotion in the highest standard, representing the epitome of a NASBLA Instructor.
