Nominations Open for Boating Industry’s Women Making Waves

Nominations are now open for Boating Industry‘s annual Women Making Waves awards program!

Entering its ninth year, the Women Making Waves program recognizes a multitude of women in the recreational boating industry who have made and continue to make great contributions to its success, propel its growth and lead their organizations and peers into the future. 

The Women Making Waves honorees are made up of women leaders across the entire recreational boating industry. From the executive level of manufacturers, associations, and dealerships to every other aspect of the industry, this group of women continuously strives to better their organizations and the industry as a whole. 

Once the nomination process closes, the editorial team at Boating Industry reads through every submission and eventually selects around 25 finalists, made up of women from all segments of the industry from retailers to manufacturers and everything in between, to represent that year’s Women Making Waves.

The 2026 nomination form can be found here.
