ACA Women's Outdoor Leadership Conference

PURPOSE:
The ACA's vision is to create an event that focuses on sharing knowledge and techniques in managing the nuances of female leadership in outdoor technical environments. Women sometimes face unique challenges when leading groups on canyon trips. It may be difficult as a female Leader to get others to listen and follow critical instructions, or to be forth coming with viable solutions. The ACA's goal is to provide an opportunity for women to learn and practice skills that mitigate a variety of challenging scenarios and group dynamics.

• This year’s conference will focus specifically on the power of mentorship in building leadership.
• Clinics will be taught by women that are experts in their fields.
• Saturday evening will feature a panel of female leaders from the Moab community discussing the complexities of leadership.
