WHAT IS THE INSPIRE INITIATIVE?

LET’S

CELEBRATE WOMEN!

Welcome to our second edition of the InspireInitiative…a movement I created last year to celebrate, empower, showcase and support the women of the yachting industry. While we are often outnumbered by the “boys” in nearly every sector of our industry, we’ve succeeded and grown in number....oftentimes breaking down barriers in high heels and a skirt!

What we are NOT. The InspireInitiativeis NOT another association to join. But rather it serves as a continuing reminder of our individual and collective strength through a series of events and engagements around the world designed to unite all of us in the focus of creating something bigger.

Partnership Opportunities

The spark that was ignited during our inaugural event last year has grown into a roaring fire spreading our positive and inspiring message worldwide!

We are working to build on last year’s success…to engage, challenge, educate and encourage all of us to be an inspiration in our own lives. This year’s program will invigorate and inspire all who attend by bringing together a variety of keynote speakers and panelists who have broken through their own barriers and relentlessly pushed their way to the top.

There are many ways to get involved…as we know it takes an army to make magic happen. Please take a few moments to review how you can join our initiative and be the match that ignites a spark in the lives of others.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or for inspiration on a package that fits YOU!

Warmest regards,

October 26-30, 2022
