In their recent email communication, the ABYC opened the door to volunteers to join some of their Project Technical Committees. Are you interested in getting more involved in standards development? ABYC is looking for individuals to join the following committees:

Hull Performance – Engine manufacturer, specialist service
Hull and Deck Structures – Engine manufacturer, specialist service, consumer
Hull Piping – Engine manufacturer, specialist service, consumer/general interest
Fuel and Ventilation – Boat manufacturer, specialist service, consumer/general interest
Fire Fighting and Detection Systems – Engine manufacturer, specialist service

EDITOR’S NOTE: I have attended ABYC Project Technical Committee sessions as a journalist (not as an expert) but the discussions are lively, the people have been most welcoming and the subjects are both interesting and important. If you have knowledge and experience and you would be willing to volunteer your time, you might find this very enjoyable and personally rewarding. Read more online here -Andy Adams Editor
