The Outings Management Committee (OMC) manages all aspects of the outdoor activities program of the Chapter, including training and risk management. It promotes outdoor leadership and provides support for group and section outings chairs.
Meetings are held at least three times a year. Contact OMC Chair for information on meetings and topics. OMC members include the Leadership Training (LTC), Safety and Wilderness Training (WTC) Chairs, reps from Conservation and Inspiring Connections Outdoors (ICO), five elected Outings Reps and more members who assume other tasks of running our huge outings program. The OMC also sponsors an annual Outings Assembly, usually in the Fall. The assembly is where outings chairs and leaders can connect and share ideas, concerns and get some technical training - and learn something new. Agendas usually include a safety report and one from Leadership training. Attend, contribute your ideas and learn about fundraising outings and how to grow your programs.
LTC / OMC and Safety provide essential resources on the Leaders and Resources website here: https://www.sierraclub.org/angeles/leadership-outing
