“Receiving an award for a project dedicated to teaching people how to treat the environment is important to AllenComm,” said Ron Zamir, CEO of AllenComm. “In today’s training culture, we must influence new types of behavior by finding compelling ways to reach beyond the internal audience of our partners.”

Tread Lightly! had a huge audience of diverse learners, some of whom would continue on to become Tread Trainers for a broad community of recreation enthusiasts. They wanted to find a better way to promote their message and the five impact principles that guide them. AllenComm helped Tread Lightly! create a course that inspired learners with positive affirmations about ways to leave their mark without leaving a trace. By using flash video, assessments, audio, and scenic photos, Allen could orient learners to the Tread Lightly! message without overburdening learners with theory.

“We are thrilled that our ‘Tread Lightly! 101’ course is receiving this prestigious award,” said Lori McCullough, Tread Lightly!’s executive director. “The course has been teaching crucial outdoor ethics to thousands of recreationists in innovative and engaging ways, and we are proud of what it has helped us accomplish so far.”
