www.BoatingIndustry.com 22 | Boating Industry | October 2014 As the industry continues its recovery in 2014, it's clear that a spirit of innovation has taken hold for many companies. The Movers & Shakers awards are all about recognizing those innovators, those companies and leaders that have embraced change and adapted to today's radically different boating industry. In 2014, the fourth year of the program, we received our largest and strongest group of nominees yet. That strength is refl ected in the quality of the 13 people we have profi led on the following pages. Even though many of these individuals have decades of experience in the indus- try, this is no career achievement award. It's not about what happened 20 years ago or even a decade ago. It's about how these leaders are impacting the industry today. Whether it's product innovation, campaigns to grow the boating audience or creative marketing solutions, the 2014 Movers & Shakers are undeniably shaping the boating industry for today and the future. In this issue, we recognize our 2014 Mover & Shaker of the Year – Jim Lane & Buck Pegg of Chaparral and Robalo – along with 11 more innovators. BY JONATHAN SWEET BOATING INDUSTRY 2014 INDUSTRY 2014
