regional coordinators
Regional coordinators are the Access Fund's principal liaisons to local areas and represent climbers' interests on both public and private lands. Regional coordinators facilitate the efforts to keep climbing areas open at the local level. In addition, regional coordinators can provide information and/or assistance on a wealth of related subjects, from organizing conservation or trail-building projects to the acquisition of a threatened climbing area. The dedicated volunteers who serve as regional coordinators are committed to providing climbers with solutions that will preserve America's diverse climbing resources for future generations. When access issues arise in your area, please contact your regional coordinator.
For general information, please call Charlie Boas, Grassroots Coordinator, at 303.545.6772 x 105 or via email at charlie@accessfund.org.
