Outreach Resources
The ODATC board is taking steps to implement the recommendations from the ATC’s 2012 Volunteer Leadership Meeting to increase public awareness of the AT and the AT Clubs in order to attract, motivate and inspire the next generations of trail enthusiasts and stewards.
Some of the initiatives underway include:
- Development and distribution of a new ODATC poster (Poster_PPT_Base Slide with logo 5.pdf);
- Development and distribution of new ODATC business cards for hike leaders, trail maintainers and other “Trail Ambassadors” to give potential club members basic information about ODATC and follow up contact information (ODATC B Card 05.pdf);
- Meetup focused hikes
- Family focused hikes
- Continued partnering with Nelson County and other AT Community programs
- Purchase of a club canopy tent, table and chairs for outreach exhibits at non-club venues
- Development of an ODATC multi-media information display
- ODATC branding initiative
