The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) held biennial elections for its three Manufacturing Divisional Boards during its Board meeting at the 2024 International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX).
The divisional Boards include the Boat Manufacturers Division (BMD), Engine Manufacturers Division (EMD) and Marine Accessory and Components Division (MACD).
These elections form each divisional board, and individuals are appointed to represent the respective division on NMMA’s board of directors.
Ben Duke (Polaris Marine), Tommy Hancock (Sportsman Boats) and Rob Parmentier (Sailfish Boats) are among the new members of the NMMA Board of Directors.
The Executive Committee of the NMMA Board is led by Chairperson Bill Yeargin (Correct Craft), Vice Chair Craig Clawson (Magic Tilt Boat Trailers), Treasurer Aine Denari (Brunswick/Navico Group), Secretary Ben Speciale (Yamaha Marine) and Immediate Past Chair Steve Heese (Chris Craft).
The Executive Committee also includes representatives from each of the three manufacturing member divisions: Tommy Hancock (Sportsman Boats), Matt Peat (Transhield) and Mike Lindberg (Ilmor).
“We are thrilled with the newly elected divisional board members as they each bring unique strengths and expertise to the table to guide the direction and impact of the association and the entire recreational boating industry,” said Bill Yeargin, NMMA board chairman and Correct Craft CEO. “Their passion for the success of our collective industry is evident through their willingness to dedicate time and effort to Board service.”
