Coast to coast, sailors want the answer on how to grow participation, revitalize the club, and get more people in boats. Over the past 12 months, I have sailed 12 different types of boats at 17 venues, and visited a total of 39 local sailing organizations (mostly clubs.) In the last 10 days I have visited nine of those clubs on the West Coast from San Francisco to San Diego. I was joined by US Sailing Membership Director Georgia McDonald and US Sailing Board of Directors members Dave Ullman and JJ Fetter. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting with the leadership of these clubs and other key individuals.

A tip for sailing organizations by Gary Jobson: If you have a club owned fleet, create lessons for all age groups not just the kids. Adult learn-to-sail programs invigorate your local sailing communities.

The club website is a great way to reach members, but often if a club stops mailing a monthly printed calendar, attendance drops. Families often post the calendar as a reminder for club events, so hard-copy publications still can play an important role in a communications plan. - Kurt Stocker
