Things to know about the Fired up! Gold country Institute
|
Out of respect for our donor dollars, this event has been planned with an eye toward creating the most comprehensive training event possible for the least cost and the least environmental impact. You will see this demonstrated by the facilities selected and the training methodologies. By making those choices, more volunteers and employees can be trained on how to provide vital services.
You will have a choice between two tickets: Gold Country Institute Commuter or Gold Country Institute Overnighter. Overnight tickets are $45 and are good for one to four days of training, depending on your course selections. A $25 Commuter ticket includes lunch and also can include dinner if you reserve it. |
Going Green
This will be a paperless event. We will not be printing course materials – everything will be provided to you electronically before the event. You will be asked in the registration process if you have a device (i.e. laptop, tablet, Kindle, etc.) you can bring with you; if not, a loaner will be provided to you at the event. If you want paper copies of your course materials, you will need to print those and bring them with you.
