Help us create a successful event for women sailors

NWSA is seeking the expertise of talented women instructors, like you, to teach other women sailors eager to gain deeper knowledge and skills. Every year, the feedback from our conference attendees is overwhelmingly positive. Their lives are enriched because of the generous sharing of our volunteer instructors, coaches and presenters. We depend on you to help continue the legacy of women instructors sharing sailing with women.  Workshops can be assigned to you according to your skills or interests, or you may bring your own ideas and workshop plans. We welcome your ideas.
