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.
Aimie (AI for Marine Industry Education)
Aimie is an AI-powered platform, educated on the MRAA’s vast amount of content and educational programs and designed to answer your most challenging questions on how to run your dealership. Ask AIMIE anything about how to find success in your dealership, such as:
- “How do I better manage my inventory?”
- “Write me a job description for an entry level service tech.”
- “What are other marine dealers seeing in the market right now?”
- “Give me an education plan for my new service manager.”
- “Write me a social media post to promote our presence at __ boat show.”
Service Management Certification
As a dealership professional, your ability to successfully manage the shop’s performance is critical to customer loyalty, employee retention, and the dealership’s stability and health.
Service Management Certification was built for you in partnership between the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA) and the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC).
It is designed to help you improve as a leader and arm you with the knowledge, skills and tools to guide your service department and your entire marine business to higher levels of performance.
