Leadership Retreat 2014
On September 5 - 8, leaders from grassroots biking and walking advocacy organizations gathered at a conference center outside Pittsburgh for the 2014 Alliance Leadership Retreat.
- Advocates were greeted with custom Camelbak blowfish bags and Primal Wear jackets. Big thanks to these two companies for supporting state and local active transportation advocacy!

So are these awesome @PrimalWear jackets! pic.twitter.com/auyMZ1ZY9N- The Alliance holds the Leadership Retreat every two years, thanks in large part to support from companies and organizations who support leadership development at grassroots biking and walking advocacy organizations.
These companies recognize the need for strong grassroots state and local bike & walk advocacy. Thank you! #LR14 pic.twitter.com/5CJ8vgrt0y
Love the @KINDSnacks at @BikeWalk #LR14--deelish! Thanks for being a sponsor of this retreat full of healthy people. pic.twitter.com/6GT6VUbab9- The weekend kicked off with an Advocacy Advance grantee convening. Leaders from organziations that have received Advocacy Advance Rapid Response grants came together to discuss best practices for winning biking and walking funding campaigns. The convening wrapped up with a game of Jeopardy, featuring Darren Flusche as "Alex Trebikewalk." Winners won signed portraits of the Advocacy Advance team!
- Advocates poured in from all over as their trains, planes, buses, and automobiles arrived in the beautiful foothills of the Appalacians.

.@ollingers at #LR14: I see the Alliance as version control: leaders come together to iterate towards what works and move past old versions.- #LR14 is centered around popular education: "the knowledge is in the room." Read up on originator Paulo Freire: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_Freire …
- '@JeffreyBCMiller at #LR14: the best innovations in biking & walking advocacy have originated with grassroots organizations.
