The association s goal is to provide advanced training to boating safety officers throughout the state, and to promote safe boating to recreational boaters. Association members actively participate in the legislative process on boating related issues.
Members are also instrumental in establishing local, more area specific rules.
A number of association members are active instructors in the private sector assisting with US Power Squadron and Coast Guard Auxiliary classes. They also teach new officers at the local and state levels. This brief background of the association is provided to help you make the right decision with regard to membership. If you are a boating safety officer, volunteer, or a business involved in recreational boating in Washington, then membership is a must. The combination of working boating safety officers, professionals and corporate support can only work to the advantage of the boating public, making our waterways a safer, more enjoyable place to boat.
