The NMMA has announced the hire of Alisdair Martin in the role of Vice President of Sales and Strategy, as well as the promotions of John-Michael Donahue to Vice President of North American Public Affairs and Kelly Kaylor to Vice President of North American Public Relations and Corporate Communications.

He reports to Jennifer Thompson, Senior Vice President of Boat and Sports Shows.
