When outsourcing activities, transportation, or any part of your program to third-party providers, your stakeholders will hold you responsible if something goes wrong - regardless of who’s at fault. Experiential education and travel providers must therefore only work with reputable and responsible providers.

Join our Executive Director, Dave Dennis, to learn more about developing a robust system to protect your organization, using the blueprint he’s designed and used for decades. You’ll walk way knowing how to:
Adapt to global variances
Focus on relationship building, trust, and transparency with vendors
Respond to and support vendors when incidents occur
Defend against lawsuits
Strengthen organizational culture
