Reflection/Evaluation

The pandemic has been an opportunity to learn from experts across the country during virtual presentations. All of the trainings were informative and well-organized with skilled, knowledgable presenters. I’d like to highlight Broads very own Where Wildlife Roam panel that was re-imagined in conjunction with ESC and presented virtually (after not being selected to air during CPW’s virtual Partners in the Outdoor Conference though it was chosen for the original in-person conference that was cancelled.) The kick off (Sept 26) for the Native Perspectives on Public Lands and Tribal Preservation series (4 Thursdays in October) was particularly moving and educational as was the keynote at WCA’s 40th anniversary annual conference presented by Janice “Jay” Johnson and Joe Szakos from Virginia Organizing. Like with action alerts, I suspect other members (beyond the two documented in this report) attended online trainings/presentations, but sadly I don’t have any record of them. We need a system to make it easy for members to track and report this data.
