Message From The Editor
Influence back to school plans now
Today is August 1st, 2023 and I call this the mid-point in summer 2023. By now, you should be staffed up and buzzing along with high-season business. It’s also a time to stop and thoughtfully assess the people you have working with you and what plans you might have for their future.
If you are lucky enough to have brought on a bright young employee who seems to like the business, and who you feel would make a good addition to your team, now is the time to “have the talk” about a career in the boat business. More specifically, talk about the training and education they would need to have a career in your company.
