As a part of our Vision 2022 strategic plan, The Mountaineers is committed to leading innovation in outdoor education. A key component of this initiative is investing in our volunteer leaders, the heart and soul of our vibrant organization.
The Mountaineers is excited to offer an annual Leadership Development Series to provide high-quality, continuing education opportunities for our volunteer leaders. Seminars will be offered on a wide variety of topics this fall and winter, and they will be scheduled throughout our branches.
