Trail Advocates of Summit County
The Team.
Our team consists of highly motivated, highly skilled, and highly experienced board members who currently represent all five communities along the Veterans Trail right-of-way. We meet monthly to discuss strategy and agree on activities for the coming month. Activities include meeting with public officials to inform them of opportunities related to trail development and to encourage them to act on them. We build public support by encouraging individuals and community minded organizations to sign up on TASCforce.org and by soliciting letters of support. We also write blog posts on the website, send email blasts, and post to our Facebook page to inform everyone of the status of our projects.
