Make your voice heard

Through an ACA membership, paddlers of every stripe have a voice regarding issues that affect the paddle and boardsport community.  

Every day the ACA fields a phone call, receives an email, or attends a meeting relating to public policy that has the potential to affect all paddlers.  

The ACA acts as the primary advocate for paddlers at the local, state and federal level on a variety of public policy issues from lifejacket wear to participating in a committee to develop a national Recreational Boating Safety Strategic Plan.  

The ACA will continue its work to affect public policy in the best interest of all paddlesport enthusiasts whether or not they’re members of the ACA.  However, your membership fees help the ACA influence stewardship issues and public policy that affect you and your paddling experience.
