Tall Ships America’s Conference Committee is an essential part of our Annual Conference on Sail Training and Tall Ships. Committee members represent many facets of the sail training and maritime community. The planning begins after the previous conference ends and involves coming up with a theme, creating sessions, recruiting speakers, and organizing social events. We could not host an annual conference without the volunteers that make up the Conference Committee. Let’s meet them!
