The Lake Improvement Association is lending the non-profit’s experience in event planning and marketing; the LIA hosts several successful events to support the improvement of Grand Lake St. Marys.
“Our mission is to continually improve the Grand Lake St. Marys experience, and helping the Ohio Governor’s Cup Regatta grow is the perfect opportunity to do that,” said LIA Vice President Mark Piening. “The regatta has a storied history on Grand Lake St. Marys and is a local source of pride; their committee truly puts on an outstanding race. At the same time, it’s much more than a boat race. The LIA’s role is to help organize and market a variety of attractions so everyone can come out and have a great time, whether they love racing or not, and simultaneously increase the event’s economic impact that is so critical to lake improvement efforts.”
