BUSINESS WORLD:
In terms of your
members these days, collectively, are there
issues or is there an issue that they’re most
logically concerned with right now? A hot

SPITZER:
Training would be a para-
mount, because technology, of course, is
changing so fast in the marine marketplace,
just as in the consumer market. Basically,
the marine electronics industry is a
consumer business. People who have boats,
it may be a smal l segment of the
consumerism, but the electronics on boats
are still somewhat consumer products, even
in the commercial side of our business.
Today, it’s all about training and enhancing
the skill set of ourmembers
BUSINESS WORLD:
In terms of your
engagement with your members, what sorts
of things do you do? Do you have
publications that you put out? Do you have
a lot of events?
SPITZER:

We have ongoing training sessions
