What's Your Story?

For the past two days, Center staff joined with the Leave No Trace Board of Directors for its semi-annual meeting. Though the agenda was packed full of discussions about strategic plans and key goals, there was still room left to celebrate this year's successes.

One of the challenges of being an international program is communicating all the great work going on across the country and the globe. Both the Outreach and Education Departments receive letters, photographs and emails on a daily basis. While we get a chance to enjoy them, it's often difficult to get this information out to our constituents and the ones who could benefit the most.


For the meeting, we put together a Leave No Trace "Story Wall" of testimonials we've received (handwritten, typed, in crayon) to share with our hardworking Board. The visual display provided a great backdrop for evaluating the year and for looking forward to 2009.

One of the things our organization prides itself on is putting the funds we receive right back into programming. We love your stories, and photos and ideas and think you deserve a chance to share them so that we can continue to secure funding and support for programs that directly benefit...you!
