I (Marty Molitoris) just returned from the UIAGM/AMGA annual meeting in Boulder, CO. This year was the first time the AMGA held the meeting for the IFMGA. Delegates from around the world attended making it a truly special event.
During the meeting, the president of the IFMGA, along with the president of the AMGA, the AMGA executive director and access director met with various land managers from the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service and others to dicuss the options for increased access for certified guides and IFMGA visiting guides. It was a great learning process for all who attended and hopefully it will bring more access in the future.
The week was also declared Mountain Guides Week by the Mayor of Boulder and she gave a wonder speech after the first mountain guide parade which happened up and down Pearl Street.
Photos to come soon…
