The California Yacht Brokers Association this week announced that it appointed Mark P. White executive director. White has more than three decades of industry experience, including his current role as president and boat show committee chairman at CYBA.

“Mark’s appointment signals a new chapter for CYBA,” Dean West, vice president and chair of the ethics and advocacy committees, said in a statement. “His operational expertise and industry relationships make him the ideal leader to guide our members through the evolving landscape of yacht brokerage.”

White will be responsible for unifying leadership and accelerating the association’s modernization efforts across compliance, member engagement and industry visibility.
