Ava Hider

What makes you want to help the Environment?

My passion for helping the environment comes from a desire for a safe and healthy world for everyone who lives on our beautiful planet. I would like to reduce our society’s dependence on fossil fuels for transport and single use plastics. Everyone should have the freedom to live in a world where humans and animals are not impacted by anthropogenic activity.

What drew you to Starboard?

Starboard’s innovative team both on and off the water inspired me to be a part of a group that does not practice business as usual. Starboard is constantly working to take action and learn more about how we as a company can create a positive impact for the communities and people around us. Starboard takes action and drives change in the industry.

What skills do you have to make a difference?

Working proactively to develop and build real relationships to work together to generate change. I am passionate about inspiring young generations to learn the importance of taking care of our environment. Using my passion for watersports and sailing, I will work together to protect our oceans and local communities.
