Marine construction industry businesses are invited to join Citizens For Florida's Waterways, Florida's oldest and largest boating advocacy group, as Marine Construction Industry Alliance Business Class Members.
Business Class Members benefit from government advocacy (lobbying) services provided by MW Consulting. These services include tracking legislation; advocating before committees, councils and agencies; and representing the marine construction industry at the Manatee Forum.
The cost of this service, which is no longer being provided by other marine construction associations, is $250 per firm, per year.
MW Consulting is owned and operated by Steven Webster, who served as executive director of Florida Marine Construction Association for seven years, and Peggy Mathews, who served as legislative representative.

Cost
Business Class Membership costs $250 per firm per year, payable by check, and includes all the benefits of membership in Citizens For Florida's Waterways.
Benefits
Business Class Members will receive confidential status reports on pending legislation, agency rule-making, and Manatee Forum activities. Your industry interests will be represented and communicated to decision-makers, and you will have the opportunity to share your views and opinions face-to-face.
Business Class Members will have access to our Tallahassee office, located just steps from the Capitol, when we organize legislative and agency office visits during the legislative process that is already underway.
Business Class Members will be represented FULL TIME here in Tallahassee by me and by Peggy Mathews, who I retained six years ago to represent FMCA and CFFW. We are professionals with more than 40 years experience working on marine and marine industry issues before government.
We will work with Members to identify and address other important matters (such as unemployment compensation, insurance and licensing) in addition to our current priority items.
Membership in CFFW is a great business asset. Its websites -- cffw.org and boatflorida.com -- are very popular, offering excellent exposure to advertisers. The Central Florida Marine Flea Market attracts thousands of customers every April. In fact, several marine construction businesses exhibit every year and as a Business Class Member, you can, also.
Business Members will be kept up-to-date, giving you an advantage over the competition. I have always emphasized the importance of being first in line with the most accurate information. In today's economy, this can be the difference between business success and failure.
ONLY CFFW Business Class Members receive these benefits.
