We are pleased to be partnering with YBAA again for two more sessions this year,Ф said Ian Atkins, vice president and general manager, YachtWorld.com. Уour curriculum underwent substantial change and the feedback from brokers has been very positive. It’s exciting to introduce new educational opportunities to the industry to favorably impact brokers' businesses."

Based on a survey of brokers who attended the Providence, RI and Annapolis, MD YBUs, 51% rated the overall event as excellent. One broker commented, I have been attending these events since you first started putting them on, and this was the best run and organized event yet. I came away feeling that it was a day well spent.

Attendees enjoyed the fresh content and program that is guaranteed to provide valuable information and knowledge, as well as interactive dialog with industry experts and industry peers, announced Vincent Petrella, executive director, YBAA. This is a must-attend event for all yacht sales professionals who want to learn how to grow their business by increasing their value to their clients.
