Environmental Stewardship Committee Report
[Cont.]
This goal/task has been tabled for 2015 by the ESC. Well founded concerns over
liability and risk were raised by AORE BOD and National Office. This goal will remain
archived for future consideration.

CORPORATE & STRATEGIC
PARTNERS
While we will continue to embrace some of the operational tasks associated with the
annual conference aiding the Conference Development Committee in its
implementation, we anticipate taking on longer range and more strategic tasks to
better showcase environmental stewardship both within (internal advocacy) the
AORE and to the larger industry (external advocacy).
We have recently finalized our ESC Charter (i.e. our charge as a Committee, internal
structure, and reporting process) and are currently in the process of developing an
Environmental Statement that will aid the AORE and ESC in defining and shaping
current and future Internal and External Advocacy goals as it relates to
environmental stewardship.
Finally, we would like to thank Tara Allman, our outgoing Board of Directors
Committee Liaison. She really aided the ESC and helped us set an ambitious yet
focused agenda for 2015 and into the future. Thanks Tara!

We've made it our mission to create
technology that not only helps people
get outside or travel near and far, but
that it continually inspires others to do
so. One of the pillars of our company
is to build tools that increase learning
and training for this industry. Another
is to automate business processes so
that outdoor and travel professionals
can spend less time on office tasks and
more time with their passions.
