August 19, 2020 Visitor Assistance NRM Prospect Course #147 (24-28 Aug 2020) Cancellation
I regret to inform you that the Visitor Assistance NRM #147 course scheduled for 24-28 August
2020 has been cancelled. Attendance has been greatly reduced with 25 students cancelling
their travel, leaving a financial deficit for the USACE Learning Center. The COVID-19 pandemic
has had an overall impact on training attendance and I certainly understand reluctance to
travel and be in a classroom during the current environment.
All Training Officers have
been contacted by the Learning Center and should have, or will be, notifying all students
regarding the cancellation, however, to help ensure everyone is contacted, I'm send this
message thru the NRM community.
Please make sure that travel arrangements get
cancelled and enrollment fees have been returned.
Training is recognized as a vital
component for enhancing ranger safety. HQUSACE and the Visitor Assistance Cadre will
continue to work diligently to provide park rangers the required and necessary training. In the
meantime, please use the training tools available to you at your local projects including the
training outlined in the NRM Best Management Practices/Procedures located in the below
SharePoint.
