along with Rupert Connor met April 14th at<br />
the American <strong>Yacht</strong> Institute (AYI) to discuss<br />
committee goals and plans for the upcoming<br />
year. FYBA member Jim Wilkey facilitated the<br />
session and guided the committee though the<br />
session, helping them to identify objectives<br />
and problems. The program began with a recap<br />
of 2008 events and accomplishments, including<br />
two successful seminars: Education Charter<br />
Seminar in July and Charter Destinations<br />
Seminar in October.<br />
AYI owner Kristin Cavallini-Soothill welcomed<br />
the committee and gave a short presentation<br />
on what the AYI does and the courses it<br />
offers. The AYI is a professional training facility<br />
for land and sea that specializes in training<br />
future professional staff as well as the presently<br />
employed in each respective industry.<br />
This was the first planning session held for the committee<br />
and featured lively discussions on growing the<br />
global charter market, promoting the value of the Charter<br />
membership in FYBA, and fostering a greater understanding<br />
of common charter issue with continuing education and certification<br />
programs.<br />
