NMMA has appointed Chase Warden as chief financial officer (CFO) with effect from February 10 2025.
In his new role, Chase will be responsble for overseeing NMMA’s financial strategy, organisational development and legal compliance, including oversight of NMMA’s accounting and human resources teams.
Chase joins the NMMA from the Land Trust Alliance, where he served as chief operating and financial officer responsible for all aspects of finance and accounting, human resources, information technology, and operations.
Prior to his time with the Land Trust Alliance, he was the director of finance and operations at conservation nonprofit The Nature Conservancy (TNC).
“We are thrilled to welcome Chase, and his exemplary leadership in the nonprofit sector, to the NNMA team as he brings deep experience that will benefit our go-forward strategy, particularly as we continue to elevate NMMA’s advocacy and presence in Washington, D.C. on behalf of the industry,” said Frank Hugelmeyer, president and CEO of the NMMA.
“We thank Craig Boskey for his years of distinguished service and congratulate him on his retirement.
I am inspired and committed to ensuring a thriving industry .

“As a vital member of the leadership team, we are confident that Chase will build on Craig’s legacy and deliver strong results for our members and industry.”
Chase added: “It is an honor to join NMMA as CFO to serve the Association’s 1,300 members in the U.S. and Canada.
“I grew up sailing and boating in Wisconsin, and I am inspired and committed to ensuring a thriving industry for my children and the next generation of boaters.
“I look forward to collaborating with the talented team at NMMA to ensure the industry’s continued growth and success.”
Chase will replace longtime NMMA CFO, Craig Boskey who retires at the end of February following 20 years serving as chief financial officer.
During his 20 years with NMMA, Craig supported strategic boat show acquisitions, navigated the financial volatility of the Great Recession and COVID pandemic, and secured opportunities for financial stability.
Chase will be based in the NMMA’s Washington D.C. headquarters.
