AUSTIN, TX December 9, 2021 — The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas today named this year’s marine industry Great Dealerships to Work For at Dealer Week 2021, the association’s annual conference and expo.

MRAA Great Dealerships to Work For Twenty-one dealerships qualified for recognition by earning an overall score of 90 percent or better on the Marine Industry Certified Dealership Program’s annual Employee Satisfaction Survey. Administered anonymously through the MRAA, the survey
 asks employees of Certified Dealerships to answer 32 ranking questions about overall satisfaction regarding their unique dealership’s customer relations, employee satisfaction, leadership, management and reputation.

“Earning the acknowledgement
 as a Great Dealership to Work is no simple task. It means all these dealerships unequivocally invest in their employee’s satisfaction levels to cultivate an environment that is both motivating and morale boosting,” says Liz Keener, MRAA Certification
