Suzuki Honored For Promoting PFDs
by Jennifer Dennard
The U.S. Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, U.S. Power Squadron, Florida Fish & Wildlife
Conservation Commission, National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and the National
Safe Boating Council (NSBC) recognized Suzuki Marine with the “Show It, Don’t Stow It” Award at the
Miami Boat Show. The company was honored for drawing attention to the importance of wearing a life
jacket in its display at the show.
Dean Corbisier, head of public relations at Suzuki, accepted the award. In accepting the
award, he noted that Suzuki believes personal flotation devices (PFDs) are as important as its
motors, so including them in advertising is a natural fit.
