In a post at RRGCC.com, President Bill Strachen notes, "The input we are seeking is focused on the five general areas stated below. Please feel free to post your input in this forum or if you would prefer, feel free to PM or contact either myself or any other Board member."
1.) What are the RRGCC’s strengths? What should we keep doing? Do more of? Do best?You can submit comments or contact RRGCC board members through the Coalition website.2.) What are the RRGCC’s weaknesses? What could we do better? Should not do at all? Need to improve?
3.) Name the biggest threats to continued open public access to quality, climbing opportunities on public and private land?
4.) Name some opportunities that could help the RRGCC achieve its mission but is not taking advantage of? Opportunities are thought of as, easily available with little effort, generally inexpensive, things that would yield big returns, often called “heavy fruit, hanging low on the tree.” Examples could be, a highly committed, well-connected constituency (climbers) that could be rapidly mobilized, if asked; or, climbing is a growth industry, with huge economic potential, making it a natural ally with state and local eco-tourism.
5.) Given the RRGCC’s mission and the threats to climbing opportunities, what direction or strategies should the RRGCC pursue?
