All Aboard for Opportunity: Community Networking Voyage on Tacoma's Doolin Rogers!
Join us for Community Networking Voyage, a networking cruise aboard the Doolin Rogers, a 110-foot, state-of-the-art vessel owned and operated by the Youth Marine Foundation in Tacoma. This unique gathering brings together Tacoma’s startup founders, small business leaders, maritime professionals, elected officials, and engaged community members for an evening of connection, collaboration, and waterfront views.
One of the ongoing challenges in the maritime space is a lack of information sharing across sectors. We’re here to change that. These monthly events are designed to break down silos, spark open dialogue, and foster cross-industry networking that leads to real impact.
As we cruise along Tacoma’s working waterfront, we’ll spotlight the power of public-private partnerships and the role our collective efforts play in empowering the next generation for maritime careers and opportunities.
Whether you're deeply embedded in the maritime sector, part of Tacoma’s growing innovation scene, or simply passionate about the future of our region, this is your chance to connect, share, and build lasting relationships.
