I look forward to meeting everyone at the Summit! Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to make suggestions about the programming and workshops. My email address is harrison.253@osu.edu. Also, check out the Sierra Student Coalition Summer Leadership Training at http://ssc.org/sprog/ if you're interesting in gaining the following skills:

• ORGANIZING 101: How to start and run an effective organization. We cover everything from recruitment, to running a meeting, to developing new leaders to ensure that your organization continues once you graduate.
• CAMPAIGN PLANNING: How to plan, implement, and run an effective environmental campaign. We use the Sierra Club Matrix to teach the most essential skills needed to effect real change.
• COMMUNICATION SKILLS: How to define your message and get it across confidently and persuasively to the media, to fellow group members, and to the public.
