  • America's Great Outdoors Listening Session Friday 7/30/10
    Climbers,
     
    Here is some information from The Access Fund regarding a "Listening Session" on Friday July 30th, 3-6pm at CU.  This is another good way to have our voices heard!
     ___________________________________________
    The Outdoor Industry Association is holding a “homegrown” listening session on America’s Great Outdoors this Friday, July 30 at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business from 3:00-6 PM. This is a supplement session to the Obama Administration’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative listening session tour, focused specifically on the outdoor recreation community’s role in shaping a 21st-century conservation and recreation agenda. 
     
    As a leader of our climbing community, I encourage you to attend. This is a unique opportunity to help set the national conservation agenda with a recreational focus. The input generated at this session will inform the report delivered to the President this fall. I will be facilitating one of the breakout sessions, so at the very least show up to heckle me.
     
    For more information on the America’s Great Outdoors initiative, visit www.accessfund.org/ago. I have also attached the Outdoor Industry Association’s briefing memo to this email.
     
    Please RSVP by tomorrow if you can make it (see below).
     
    I hope to see you there!
     
    Brady Robinson
    Executive Director | The Access Fund
