Tennessee joins Lapsed Boater Recruitment Program in an effort to increase Boat Registration Renewals
August 21, 2011
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is participating in the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation’s (RBFF) Lapsed Boat Registration Pilot Program. The program is directed at increasing boat registration renewals among lapsed boaters.
Tennessee is the fourth state to implement the direct mail pilot effort developed by RBFF in partnership with the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB) and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). Tennessee joins Florida, Ohio and Oregon.
“We’re thrilled that Tennessee is joining our pilot program to increase boat registration renewals,” said RBFF President and CEO Frank Peterson. “Boat registrations are critical to state fish and wildlife and boating infrastructure programs, and we’ve learned that if we simply remind boat owners about the joys of the sport and the important impact their participation has, they’ll get back out on the water.”
Tennessee is one of the nation's leading states offering recreational waterways, and most "Volunteer State" residents will at some time take advantage of this tremendous opportunity.
