Among the local volunteer leaders who attended the annual Fresh Air Fund Friendly Towns leadership conference in New York City Feb. 5-7 was Lisa Braden-Harder of Ridgefield. Volunteers attended workshops and listened to speeches at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and visited different neighborhoods of the city on Saturday night.
As a member of the Southwest Coast volunteer committee, she attended conferences and participated in workshops with the Fresh Air Fund’s full-time staff and community agency partners.
The volunteers learned how to support their Friendly Towns communities, received data management training, communicated with New York City agency partners that register the program’s children, and attended various training sessions, such as public relations and social media.
