TOPICS: More on subject matter here: http://www.rltc.biz/vlls. VLLS was written and developed
by Del Albright as an extension of the online (via email) Recreational
Leadership Training Course (RLTC) developed by Del to teach volunteers how to
inspire, motivate and facilitate others in keeping trails open, our sports
alive, and our public lands available to all.
SPONSORS:
Sponsors make this course possible. They believe enough in keeping trails
open and our sports alive that they are willing to invest substantially in
giving you an opportunity to elevate your effectiveness in landuse and
leadership.
