GMREC

Community Council

The Community Council was formed in 2003 to expand the outreach and service of the GMRE Center to the region.  Volunteers work through three program committees – Education, Outreach and Preservation to fulfill the goals of the GMRE Center.

Working with the GMRE Center staff, the Education Committee provides educational enrichment experiences for public and private school students in the tri-county region.  The Outreach Committee provides seminars and workshops for adults.  The Preservation Committee initiates preservation and restoration projects important to preserve our rich mountain heritage.

The operating budget of the Community Council is funded by gifts from friends in the region through an annual campaign.  In 2004 and 2005 over 4,300 students and adults in the region benefited from the Council’s programs.
