Do you have an idea for a new tour? The Tour Committee and Tour Roster Task Force are calling for proposals for a limited number of new tours to be launched in 2024. While topics are open, we are especially interested in tours that tie in with calendar events, such as holidays or heritage months (e.g., Women’s history month, Pride month, Taste of Chicago, etc.). If chosen, these tours would become recurring tours, given multiple times but only for a limited period every year. This calendar may help you with some ideas.
If you are the Tour Director of a tour you think could be modified to tie in with a calendar event, we would also like to hear from you.
The deadline for new tour proposals is June 30, 2023. CLICK HERE to download the tour proposal form. This file is also located in Files & Documents under Docents -> Policies, Procedures, Forms, and Reports -> Tour Committee -> Development of Tours. Please send the completed form to Lexie Oliva, ao****@ar**********.org. You will be notified by mid-August of the Tour Roster Task Force and Tour Committee’s decision.
This is a something of a new direction, so you may have questions. Please contact either of the Tour Committee Co-Chairs, Steve Redfield (st**************@gm***.com) or Jessica Williams (je*********@co*****.net).
