Advocacy Toolkit
Your business is affected by policies and regulations that are written in state legislatures and Congress, so naturally we want to ensure that you have a voice in how those laws are crafted.
This Advocacy Toolkit is designed to give you a baseline understanding of what advocacy and lobbying entails, ways to get engaged with MRAA’s advocacy efforts, and resources for you to begin outreach to your elected officials.

Your dealership’s operations become challenging when complex regulatory framework pop up. The MRAA Dealer Ambassador Program provides you with an ally, who advocates for policies in your best interests. This program engages constituents on state and local issues that threaten the business of recreational boating – YOUR livelihood.
All MRAA members are invited to participate in the Dealer Ambassador Program; designed to help MRAA ensure that dealer voices are present in all conversations about boating at the local and state level.
