Author Last Post

Trips Committee Activities                 Oct 2019 (rev. Oct 2022)


To support an active program of ca. 125 trips a year. we need to:


  1. Get Trip Coordinators to volunteer actual trips - keep them engaged
  2. Train TCs – in Feb & ongoing - enable them to use the Website
  3. Assure trips every week – assist TLs (suggest which rivers, safety)
  4. Keep CCA website (Trips section) up to date – Train TLs in how*
  5. Send Notice of "10 Days Upcoming Trips" to all CCA members each Tues
  6. Follow up, assure that each trip occurred, safety issues & Trip Reports are posted
  7. Advertise trips program by articles in the Cruiser
  8. Cross-List Trips w/ BRV & post theirs on CCA Calendar
  9. Answer incoming messages on the Trips@canoecruisers.com

 

 

*Website Abilities for Trips Chair & TCs - Teach Them How:

Announce a Trip on the Calendar – easy

Post a Trip Report - easy

Send out a Call (group trip announcement by email) to Thu Pads, Pick-Ups, etc. - medium

Use the Stream-Finder (water levels & WX guide) – medium

Check if someone is on a Broadcast List - difficult

Add a person to a Broadcast list – difficult

Any suggestions? Please call AlfCooley@gmail.com - 703 442-7935
