Training update – November 2017
The following gives you some information on the issue of Training discussed at the 2017 Annual Meeting in Little Rock. A training Committee, chaired by Eric Feldbaum NH is developing priorities and action items to address the needs as expressed by members.
A Training Survey was completed by NPS in 2012.. See below attached. From this survey a training agenda was developed and programs implemented in 2013 at the LWCF Summit in Denver.
NPS has indicated, there will probably not be national training until the completion of the LWCF Manual revision later in 2018. Target dates are probably in Spring 2019 and the likely location would be Omaha..
