THE VALUE OF ICOYC
This issue of The Currents continues our series that asks Members of Member Clubs: What does the ICOYC mean to you? This month, we hear from Robert Kottler, Board Member at Southern Yacht Club in New Orleans, LA, USA and Board Member of the ICOYC:

As a representative of Southern Yacht Club and board member of ICOYC, I have forged relationships and connections and have traveled to visit other clubs for regional conferences and international forums. All yacht cubs share common bonds and challenges. ICOYC's regional and international conferences have enabled my club to move forward to more confidently solve problems, gain new perspectives, and better prepare for the future.
