We excited to start the new fiscal year with three additions to the Quiet Adventures Society Board of Directors. In alphabetical order, we have Emma Bailey, Susan Hopp, and Collin Tarr. Emma has been joining the Quiet Water and Quiet Adventures Symposiums for many years. She is an avid paddler and backpacker and brings excellent management and design skills to the table. Susan Hopp comes from a private sector background with skills in accounting, also enjoying paddling and hiking. Collin comes from a strong background in all things outdoors, as well as great skills in media, communication, and event planning. All were there at Quiet Adventures Symposium in 2023, so they are excited for the coming year.
Quiet Adventures Symposium 2024 will be held on March 2, 2024 at the MSU Pavilion on the Michigan State University campus. We have launched the Registrations and Speaker/Demonstration Proposal sites. See the QAS 2024 Tab above.
We are looking for for people to join the Planning Committee for QAS 2024. Look at all those smiling faces at Eagle Monk Brew Pub, getting things done for QAS 2023. Will you be in that picture for QAS 2024? We will have a Volunteer site up soon, but can always use your skills now in the planning stages!
Join this merry band of QAS supporters as we work towards the next event. Every year is an adventure and so we move forward. Send a message to us at info@quietadventures.org.
