On Friday, March 25th, the Lake Champlain Community Sailing will host the 1st Annual Northeast Regional Community Sailing Symposium on the Burlington waterfront. Representatives from public access sailing centers from six northeast states will attend to network with other sailing educators, participate in workshops, and discuss the growing movement of public access sailing in the United States. This event provides a crucial professional development opportunity to the growing number of community sailing educators and directors in the northeast region.
"The response to this event has been overwhelming. We are excited to showcase Lake Champlain and share how the Community Sailing Center is able to impact the Burlington community,’ said Kate Neubauer, CSC Executive Director. Over the past few years, the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center has become a national leader among public access sailing centers. The CSC received the following recognition at last month’s US Sailing National Sailing Program Symposium:
· Marcel Beaudin, CSC Founding Director, received the 2011 US Sailing Marty Luray Award, the highest national award for community sailing. This honor is paid to an individual that has made an outstanding contribution to further public access sailing.
· Kate Neubauer, CSC Executive Director, was appointed to the US Sailing’s National Council of Community Sailing Executive Committee. She is one of seven committee members leading the charge to organize community sailing centers on a national level.
