Since taking the helm nine years ago, Dammrich has helped NMMA increase its membership upwards of 30 percent.

The first-official national advertising and marketing campaign for the industry’s Grow Boating Initiative was launched in 2006. Dammrich furthers his involvement in and commitment to recreational boating interests by serving on several industry boards, including the following: American Sportfishing Association He also serves as Chairman of the Board for the American Recreation Coalition; and Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation; International Council of Marine Industry Associations; and International Marine Certification Institute.
