Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved with California Trails & Greenways. In fact, a large factor in the conference’s success is the donation of time and expertise in the preparation and delivery of workshop and session presentations, local knowledge of possible sponsors and exhibitors, and providing items for the silent auction/raffle. For additional information about any of these opportunities and to get involved, please email info@catrailsconference.org.

Opportunities for involvement

  • Participation in the Local Host Committee

    The Local Host Committee is comprised of volunteers from agencies, organizations, and trail advocates in relatively close proximity to the conference venue. This Committee articulates local challenges and successes, recommends speakers and workshop ideas and assists with some aspects of conference planning.

  • Sponsorship

    The Conference provides a wide-range of valuable opportunities to promote services and products, while helping to support this very worthwhile training event.
