Hello SAR colleagues,
This message is from Heiko Stopsack, one of the organizers of the event. Please take sign up today before Oct. 26th rolls by you. This is a unique event and one of the few times we all can get together and network and learn. Please check out today's featured speaker and sponsor. See you all soon.
Dave Weber is PNW MRM symposium's key speaker and we are honored to have him speak. Last year my air rescue unit got to hear his message about rescue team dynamics. The team was inspired by his fantastic lecture and inspiring words, it made us sincerely reflect on our units culture and operations. Safe rescue operations and team dynamics are vital to successful missions. Sign up to today to hear Dave Weber's lecture and many others.
Arc'teryx has been a steadfast rescue partner for many years. Their clothing meets the demands of our rainy and cold PNW mountains. Whether beneath the helo or rescuing from the snowy remote Northside of Mt. Hood. I have been comfortable and warm. Thank you to Arc'teryx for donating over 500.00 dollars in gear for our attendees to win as raffle prizes. They will be at the Mountaineers to show you their latest gear and maybe take your teams order.
