The Boat Geeks #45 - Mike Kirshenbaum, Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA)
Recorded on location at the 2025 Seattle Boat Show, Darren meets fellow Boat Geeks and learns more about the wide world of recreational boating.
In this "lost episode": While Daeron was on a temporary hiatus, Darren sat down with Mike to learn more about the NMTA's Grow Boating Program. As chair of the Grow Boating Committee, and an NMTA Board Member and Trustee, Mike has seen the program grow over the years. With the expressed purpose "Grow Boating in the Pacific NW", since 2003 the program has spent more than $2 million on grants and promotions in support of non-profit boating organizations in WA, OR, and ID.
