In cooperation with school administrators, National Marine Electronics Association board members will meet Oct. 27 with 40 students and their teachers from Monarch High School (Broward County) to tour the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The purpose is to introduce students to electronics manufacturers and dealers and highlight industry careers.

“We are very excited to spend time with these local and promising students at FLIBS,” Mark Reedenauer, NMEA president and executive director, said in a statement. “Workforce development is one of the main focuses of the NMEA, and reaching these students while they are just starting to consider their future plans is a key part of this goal. The marine industry has so much to offer, and it is our job as good stewards to promote how cool this industry is to work in.”
