WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND THE MAZAMAS? NOMINATING COMMITTEE: Met with Kaleen to discuss outreach to candidates for Executive Council.
OUTINGS COMMITTEE: Added two outings: John Muir Trail Trek and Rocky Mountain National Park Hiking, to the 2022 calendar. Worked on making outings more visible on the website and around the Mazamas in general. Worked to improve collecting outings fees.
CLASSICS: Worked to get more classic hikes on the schedule. Contacted the lodge about the proposed Classic Lunch on September 3. Sad to report that Bertie August has moved to Connecticut to be closer to her sisters. Her leading a ramble from the MMC will be missed.
PUBLICATIONS: Evaluated production and marketing of the Bulletin to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Identified several publications tasks that committee members can take over from staff to lighten their workload. CLIMBING: Worked with the First Aid Committee to define new climb leader first aid requirements and certification. Developed a Crevasse Rescue recertification curriculum guide. Welcomed four new Leadership Development candidates!

Signed up ten participants for the FA Instructor Skills workshop info session in May. ■ Revised the Close Physical Proximity statement based on feedback from Base Medical and First Aid Committee medical/ education members ■ Looked at price increases for First Aid courses in the upcoming year, and will be mindful to keep Mazama classes below market as we also want to be good community partners.
