TKO Leadership Summit Kickoff – feat. Georgena Moran from Access Recreation

TKO is excited to welcome Georgena Moran from Access Recreation as the keynote speaker for our 2022 Leadership Summit Series.

Co-founder of Access Recreation, Georgena works to bring better information to trail users on the accessibility of parks and recreation trails in the states of Oregon and Washington and beyond. This information increases opportunities and safety by allowing trail users to make a more-informed decision as to which trails may best suit their needs and ability levels without being limited solely to designated ADA accessible trails.

This event will consist of three parts:

• Keynote presentation from Georgena Moran
• Interactive introduction to the guidelines for accessible trails
• Group discussion on how TKO can integrate what we’ve learned into our trail building and programming.

Following this event, TKO is offering an optional field day on Sunday March 6th. Join TKO and Georegna for a day on the trails at Chehalem Ridge, where we will put our freshly learned accessible trails assessment skills into practice. You can register for the field day here.

We hope you will join us!
