Greetings Folks!

I am running for a seat on the NAUI Board of Directors. This link above opens one of two campaign letters that I am allowed to present during this voting period. I encourage you to read over the all of letters from the 10 candidates and make your best decision. Be safe and take care.

Under the AAUS OM NABS Foundation, the SSQ-SEC conducted a Scientific Diving Course out of Utila, Honduras. The entire team contributed to our overall success and there was great progress in our individual goals. We had a multi level learning experience including DM candidates and other continuing education courses pursued

Sodwana Bay South Africa, diving with candidates for the Lifeguard Academy supported by Diving With A Purpose (DWP) and NEWF.

Greetings NAUI Family,

Again, I am Courtlandt Butts. I along with my esteemed colleagues have the privilege to ask for the honor of representing the membership on the NAUI Board of Directors. I have carried the NAUI name with pride as an instructor serving in leadership positions across multiple SCUBA organizations. Along with serving on the NAUI Planning Committee and Diversity Committee, I also serve as the Safety Officer in three community based organizations and sit on the Dive Control Board of two others, increasing NAUI’s visibility as a global leader in diving, across multiple sectors. It is my hope that I earn the opportunity use my experiences on the NAUI BoD to usher in a robust and thriving future for NAUI Worldwide.

Along with pursuing untapped human potential and marketshare, I would work towards increasing the visibility of our current global members, making sure that we truly represent and promote our “Worldwide” community of leaders. I would also focus on developing youth programs that not only take the next generation from Swimming to SCUBA but also encourage our members to train them to use their skills towards a purpose that cares for the environment, supports marine sciences and of course, embraces the wonders of exploration.

I am a business owner in the realm of justice for humanity and the environment. In my work, I have been called to co-create paths of access to quality education, just partnerships with law enforcement, to foster a sense of belonging within corporate and non-profit organizations. Further, I am called to expose the dive industry to humans that have been on some level marginalized away from the opportunity to enjoy the sport. As a NAUI Board member I would work towards introducing NAUI to communities that have not experienced the “love” of our membership, as well as increase the diversity on multiple levels of leadership.

Swimming is a precursor to our beloved sport and NAUI has led in diving for years. I wonder what the industry would look like if we reached upon the diverse talents of our membership aimed through our high commitment to professional training and pointed it toward an augmented swimming program. We lead the world in the way we dive, focusing on the precursor to diving could increase our marketshare in the dive industry. I’ve led in aquatics for 30 years and I envision we could be the guide from Swimming to SCUBA embracing the “Loved One” concept, keeping the people we trained with us throughout their dive career.

The dive industry itself has been on a comeback in participation since COVID. To accelerate the health of the industry I feel we could consider focusing on “diving for a purpose” that is connected to sectors that go beyond recreation. NAUI leads in partnerships with military and educational institutions. My hope is that we increase our presence there, as well as with NGOs, youth development establishments and other organizations that promote ocean conservation and environmental sustainability. I’d want to point our leadership acumen towards healing the planet.

Myself and my colleagues that are running for a seat on the NAUI BoD care greatly about the present and future of this organization. I encourage you to vote with your hearts. We will be in good hands with all of the choices available to us.

Be safe and take care.

问候 NAUI 家人，

再说一遍，我是考特兰特·巴茨。 我和我尊敬的同事们有幸代表 NAUI 董事会的成员。 作为一名在多个水肺潜水组织担任领导职位的教练，我对 NAUI 的名字感到自豪。 除了在 NAUI 规划委员会和多元化委员会任职之外，我还担任三个社区组织的安全官，并担任另外两个组织的潜水控制委员会成员，提高了 NAUI 作为跨多个领域的全球潜水领导者的知名度。 我希望能够利用我在 NAUI 董事会的经验赢得这个机会，为 NAUI Worldwide 开创一个强劲而繁荣的未来。

在追求未开发的人才潜力和市场份额的同时，我将努力提高我们当前全球成员的知名度，确保我们真正代表和促进我们的“全球”领导者社区。 我还将重点发展青年计划，不仅让下一代从游泳转向水肺潜水，还鼓励我们的会员培训他们利用自己的技能来实现关心环境、支持海洋科学，当然还有拥抱奇迹的目的 的探索。

我是一名致力于人类和环境正义领域的企业主。 在我的工作中，我被要求共同创造获得优质教育的途径，与执法部门合作，以培养企业和非营利组织的归属感。 此外，我还被要求向那些在某种程度上被边缘化、失去享受这项运动机会的人们展示潜水行业。 作为 NAUI 董事会成员，我将努力将 NAUI 介绍给那些没有经历过我们会员“爱”的社区，并增加多个领导层的多样性。

游泳是我们喜爱的运动的先驱，NAUI 多年来一直在潜水领域处于领先地位。 我想知道，如果我们通过对专业培训的高度承诺来吸引会员的多元化才能，并将其指向强化游泳项目，那么这个行业会是什么样子。 我们的潜水方式引领世界，专注于潜水的前身可以增加我们在潜水行业的市场份额。 我在水上运动领域处于领先地位 30 年，我设想我们可以成为从游泳到水肺潜水的向导，拥抱“挚爱之人”的理念，让我们培训的人员在整个潜水生涯中始终与我们在一起。

自新冠疫情以来，潜水行业本身的参与度已有所回升。 为了加速该行业的健康发展，我认为我们可以考虑将重点放在与休闲以外的行业相关的“有目的的潜水”上。 NAUI 在与军事和教育机构的合作方面处于领先地位。 我希望我们能够增加我们在那里的影响力，以及与非政府组织、青年发展机构和其他促进海洋保护和环境可持续性的组织的合作。 我想将我们的领导智慧指向治愈地球。

我本人和正在竞选 NAUI 董事会席位的同事非常关心该组织的现在和未来。 我鼓励你们用心投票。 我们将掌握所有可用的选择。

注意安全并小心。

考特兰特
