The Education & Awareness Committee works to advance boating safety by maintaining and updating the National Boating Education Standards; developing a database to record instances of successful boating safety course completions; developing recommendations based on best practices for the states to implement; and creating a library of state marketing campaigns and outreach materials for other states to use.

Subcommittees will monitor and address different aspects of the Committee’s work. For 2009, the three subcommittees are Marketing & Outreach, Education Standards & Best Practices, and Boating Course Administration. Each subcommittee has taken the lead on specific, assigned charges.
