Now, some of what you can expect this year ...
Here's a few quick items that will be part of the 2021 seminar:
- Please note with this type of event, a firm schedule is almost impossible to follow since each of the participant teams are unique in their abilities and level of training. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF STANDING AROUND (or sitting if you brought a portable chair). We'll be working with the instructors to minimize it as much as possible.
- Each seminar day will start with a sign-in/class location assignment in the parking lot of the host hotel at our BCSO SAR Command Post. As it stands, it will be located in the back parking lot area of the La Quinta Hotel. The Command Post will remain at that location through out the seminar - manned during seminar hours - and will be the focal point for information.
- Seminar name badges will be issued to all participants for ease of identification. The back side of the badges will have contact numbers of BCSO/SAR staff should there be any issues/items that need urgent attention.
- Box lunch meals will be provided for each attendee at the assigned training area for each team. NOTE: In the past we tried to provide some catered meals (hot/cold) but received complaints about not getting enough meals to the training areas and/or they were not very good. If you have special dietary needs, you'll need provide your own food during the seminar.
- We will be providing completion certificates at the end of the seminar instead of mailing them.
