When I presented to the Forest Resources class at the University of Maine a couple of weeks ago. One of the things I mentioned was that as or society becomes more urban, electronic and fast paced there is a need to connect to the outdoors. As most in our society are not aware of the details of not only getting outdoors but appreciating what is there when they arrive. Someone needs to help them. A prefect description of what a guide offers!
I have been asked to present to a class on forest resources about a career in guiding as a possibility for them later this week. At the same time the Maine Professional guides Association has launched a new website that requires members to log in and update their own listings and information. As the Associations Executive Director I have been asked to work with the Guides Advisory Board on information that clients should get before they sign up with a guide.
No easier; well both. I have taken credit cards for payment to make it easier for clients and last spring I upgraded my cell phone. One of the thoughts was to begin processing client credit cards right from the phone. I got the new phone and started checking out card readers.
