Join us for this special trip leader training session, with included lunch.
Have you been thinking about stepping up and leading an event? Would it help to know what's involved, and how we can get you started? Everyone can lead; what you see on the calendar is what someone has offered to lead – that could be you, sharing your favorite place or activity! It’s easier than you think. And you get to pick the place, date, and time!
Are you already leading trips with Women Outdoors? You’re an Event Host or Organizer on Meetup, and you've already led at least one trip, but confused about managing your event, how to contact attendees, and what’s needed? You’re not alone. Enhance your leadership and Meetup management skills.
All of you are invited to this informative training session that leaves room for fun. Have your questions answered. Help us answer questions for others. Take this chance to share your experiences with other current and potential leaders.
Come for a day of good company, food, and fun!
