AORE Association News February 2015 | Page 6

From the National Office Dear AORE Members, Since 2009, AORE has built an extensive archive related to industry sharing. These questions and answers cover management and administration, programming, climbing wall and challenge course, and risk management and wilderness medicine. These booklets are available by section or as a full booklet resource and will be updated annually with new information gathered from AORE members. All members have access to the Listserv Archive, located inside the member portal. This area is full of useful information provided by AORE members and it is updated monthly. It is an archive of real-time questions and answers by industry professionals, and shared to assist members as they work through similar programmatic challenges. In 2014, AORE worked hard to expand member resources. Most notably, we worked behind the scenes to clean up the Listserv Archive and create an organized and useful tool for our members to utilize and take advantage of. We are now proud to offer booklets for each area of the Listserv Archive, available in both digital and hardcopy formats to members and non-members of the association. With this book in your hands, you will be utilizing the power of association members to help you run your organization to its full potential.     Full Archive (Hardcopy) - $30.00 Full Archive (Electronic) - $15.00 Individual Booklets (Hardcopy) - $20.00 Individual Booklets Electronic (PDF) - $10.00 Purchase your copy today!
