Congrats to 2010's New Leaders

Please join me in celebrating the accomplishments of the members who have earned leader status in 2010. In addition to the names of our new leaders, I am providing a description of what each level of certification encompasses.

Level O-1

This is a popular leader rating for 1-day trips that are on-trail. It's easy to earn this rating, and most of our leaders start with this level. Leading a trip to one of your favorite places is a great way to contribute to the Club's mission.
