The main takeaway that I have from the meeting was that the initiatives are taken at the state level and directed by the chapters in that state. A Texas chapter has no right to direct the activities of a California chapter. The efforts are defined by those that take part.
I really liked the artificial reef initiative and I started thinking of ways to get more people involved - scout groups, schools, etc. One ship that was turned into a reef was made into a breast cancer monument by painting it pink and having survivors sign it. What a great way to tap into the energy and momentum of another movement that has passionate supporters.
We need more kayakers at these. Sorry I did not introduce myself to others in attendance that I had not met before - Mahigeer & Geauxfish. Next time.
