The Sea Tow Foundation, a national non-profit dedicated to reducing boating-related accidents and fatalities, announced the addition of seven new members to its Boating Safety Advisory Council including Tall Ships America's Executive Director, Stu Gilfillen. These individuals join a distinguished group of industry leaders, educators and advocates who help guide the Foundation's efforts to create a safer boating experience for everyone on the water.
The new members, selected by the current council with oversight from the Executive Committee of the Sea Tow Foundation, will begin their two-year terms in July 2026. During their service, council members collaborate on a range of boating safety initiatives and judge entries for the annual National Boating Safety Awards.
"Joining the Sea Tow Foundation Boating Safety Advisory Council provides me with the opportunity to focus on one of my passions—boating safety—while also helping connect with maritime industry partners that can help further the mission of Tall Ships America. It's an honor to be included, and I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and diving in," Gilfillen said.
