NMMA Moves Headquarters to Washington DC

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) is moving its headquarters to Washington D.C. as the association continues to expand its advocacy work. The NMMA’s previous headquarters were in Chicago, which will continue to serve as a strategic hub for key departments including membership and market expansion. 

While the NMMA has had a Washington, D.C. office for more than 40 years, its new headquarters offers an enhanced, larger footprint for its growing government relations and public affairs teams as well as administrative and operations teams. The new offices are within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol and key government offices and administrative agencies, reaffirming its connection to the decision-making that happens across government on behalf of NMMA’s 1,300 member companies supporting the $230 billion recreational boating industry and the estimated 85 million Americans who go boating each year. 

In addition to a larger footprint for the growing government relations, public affairs and administrative teams, the new D.C. headquarters features upgraded technology, meeting spaces, office suites for visiting members, and roof-top entertainment space for employees, members, and partners. The new 6,000-square-foot floor plan helps foster more engaging, effective connections among stakeholders and decision makers. 

In Chicago, the NMMA maintains a strong presence with a new office that provides a more strategic hub supporting a flexible work environment as well as collaboration among key departments spanning membership, business intelligence, marketing and communications, certification, and consumer boat and industry trade shows. These teams support the NMMA brand, industry communications, as well as the industry’s market expansion work through Discover Boating— a consumer-facing brand in the United States and Canada that supports boaters and potential boaters through their boat buying and ownership experience. What’s more, with the Great Lakes being a top region in the United States for new boat sales and the centralized location of Chicago to many NMMA member companies, the new hub furthers NMMA’s member and boater engagement efforts.

The NMMA’s new Washington D.C. headquarters is located at 601 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 320 North, Washington, D.C. 20004. Its new Chicago hub is located at 10 S. LaSalle Street, Suite 3500, Chicago, IL 60603.
