Not On Our Watch - Creating a Staff Culture of Risk Awareness and Management ~ Linetta Ballew
Crisis Management begins with administrative staff preparing plans and policies. Then comes the crucial task of creating a staff culture through training and supervision of risk awareness and management. Learn some tips and techniques that have been effective at Brethren Woods that you can add to your training toolbox. Linetta will share and demonstrate resources that are available to help train your staff to be aware of risk and take risk management seriously, with a particular emphasis on pool and waterfront areas. (This session includes a discussion of a drowning and the option of watching a video of the drowning of Yoni Gottesman that took place at Cathedral Oaks Athletic Club in 2005.)
Linetta Ballew has been working as a camping and outdoor ministry professional in both VA and PA since 2003. Currently, she is the Assistant Director at Brethren Woods Camp & Retreat Center (Keezletown, VA), where she lives with her husband and three children. She is an ordained minister in the Church of the Brethren, has been a lifeguard for 23 years, and serves as an ACA Accreditation Visitor. Linetta enjoys reading, crafts, tea, storytelling, traveling (especially to National Parks!), and all kinds of outdoor recreation.
