RTC RETREAT SESSIONS*
1. Membership & Volunteer Development
The strength of the RTC is our people. Members and volunteers are vital to a healthy organization. The RTC is working on a membership and volunteer development strategy that we can all benefit from. Lets talk about what will work best for the RTC.
2. Trail Promotion/PR
The RTC has a great story, we just arent telling it very well. How can the RTC better promote our work to make more people care about and contribute to what we are about? Topics include newsletters, web site and other promotions.
3. Partnering With Other Organizations
We can strengthen our outreach efforts by partnering with as many groups as possible. Have you thought about working with your local school district or health department? They may have some programs or other resources that can help in you in taking care of your trail.
4. Law Enforcement
We all have issues with management of our trails and specifically dealing with illegal use of the trail. There is no magic solution to dealing with illegal trail use. Come to learn what your trail group can do to be better prepared.
5. Trail Maintenance
We all struggle with keeping our trail in good condition. Do you know how often to mow or what to do if you have a major washout? This session is about sharing best practices to keep our trail in tip top shape.
6. Fundraising
There are a lot of small grant opportunities to out there to help the RTC do our job better. Whether you need a small amount of funding to resurface a piece of trail or a large capital grant please come to learn about what is out there and how to go about raising the funds.
7. Trail Monitoring
Trail monitors are important to make sure that our users are having a good and safe time. Without monitors our trail system would not be successful. This is a mini-session of our Trail Monitor Training.
8. Trails & Public Art
Art is not only for museums and galleries. Public art can be a great way to
beautify our trails and get people involved in our trails. Learn about some
creative taking projects on our trails.
