The Great Lakes Tow­ing Com­pa­ny and Great Lakes Ship­yard will again be attend­ing the Great Lakes Cap­tains Asso­ci­a­tion Indus­try Days . This year, the con­fer­ence will be held Jan­u­ary 13–15 at Great Wolf Lodge in Tra­verse City, Michi­gan. Gov­ern­ment and com­mer­cial indus­try rep­re­sen­ta­tives from around the Great Lakes region meet to hear pre­sen­ta­tions and dis­cuss per­ti­nent top­ics relat­ed to the future of the marine indus­try in the region.

The Great Lakes Cap­tains Asso­ci­a­tion seeks to pro­mote safe­ty, edu­ca­tion and good fel­low­ship between oper­a­tors and oth­ers with relat­ed inter­ests. The asso­ci­a­tion works with boat own­ers and com­pa­nies to increase com­mu­ni­ca­tion and coop­er­a­tion between among and the workforce.
