About Sammamish Rowing

Sammamish Rowing Association (SRA) is a not-for-profit community rowing organization founded in 1995, located in communities east of Seattle at the north end of Lake Sammamish. SRA operates in partnership with King County Parks and the City of Redmond.

From early in its history until recent years, SRA’s resources were largely consumed by the process of building a new boathouse to replace the aging boatshed in which the organization spent its formative years.

​The state-of-the-art Hod Fowler Boathouse was dedicated in 2016 and is now the home for SRA’s premier fleet of rowing shells, as well the place where our close community of over 800 adult and youth rowers and their families convene to enjoy their shared passion for rowing.

MISSION
​SRA provides an inclusive community that ignites a passion for rowing by encouraging the development of our members, embracing individual discovery, and celebrating team success so every rower can experience the life-long benefits of rowing.

VALUES
SRA holds as its highest values:

• Thoughtful Stewardship of SRA Resources
  SRA resides on public land in the heart of Marymoor Park. SRA shares resources with the local community and is committed to environmentally sustainable practices that protect the surrounding lands and waterways.  
  
  
• Personal Discovery
  SRA seeks and welcomes members of all backgrounds, beliefs, skills, and experience; and strives to help every member extend and achieve their potential in rowing and in life.
  
  
• Team Success
  SRA fosters a culture of personal growth, integrity, and perseverance, as well as accountability of each individual to oneself, the team, and the club as a whole. Accountability to the club includes investments of finances, time and heart by individual members, Board of Directors, and staff.
  
  
• Safety
  Safety is a habit. Staff, coaches, and rowers alike take responsibility for keeping one another safe at all times.
  ​
• SRA's Support Team 
  Coaches and staff are the energizing glue and valued leaders in the SRA community who support the ethos of the club and help advance SRA's mission.

STRATEGIC PLAN
SRA’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the publication of the Sammamish Rowing Association Strategic Plan. The plan identifies SRA's mission and values, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing our organization.

The plan defines in detail the actions the Board and staff will focus on for the next three years. SRA developed the plan over the course of 18 months and you may notice that many items defined in the plan have already been enacted.

The Strategic Planning Committee will review the details and direction quarterly so that SRA can adjust to changing times as needed.
 
The Board welcomes your feedback on the plan. Please email the Board President at susan.cameron@srarowing.com with any comments.
