As is common with many smaller nonprofit organizations, the Executive Director fills many roles, including membership management and development, program and office adminstration, bookkeeping, etc. GCRG relies heavily on its members and volunteers to manage its programs and achieve its mission. For example, its keynote publication, the Boatmans Quarterly Review and its Adopt-a-Beach research program would not exist without the significant contribution of dozens of volunteers.

As the recreational river running stakeholder for the Glen Canyon Dam Adapative Management program, GCRG has been intimately involved with the Long Term Experimental Management Plan LTEMP EIS from the draft through the final plan. The Record of Decision for the LTEMP EIS was signed in December 2016, defining how Glen Canyon Dam will be operated and how the river cooridor though Grand Canyon will be taken care of for the next 15 - 20 years. Stemming from our belief that the fragile, non-renewable cultural resources and traditional cultural properties along the river cooridor must be protected and preserved over the long term, GCRG became a concurring party to the Cultural Programmatic Agreement PA for the LTEMP. In FY 2019, GCRG continued to work with stakeholders to develop the Historic Preservation Plan as it moved from the draft stage to finalization.

The AAB photographs datasheets are analyzed, compiled and disseminated in a report to the U.S. Geological Surveys Grand Canyon Monitoring Research Center GCMRC.

The focus of both seminars was interpretive training in the cultural, natural and human history of Grand Canyon the Colorado River, as well as relevant safety, resource management and river/canyon protection issues. GCRG coordinates the GTS in cooperation with the National Park Service and the commercial river outfitters in Grand Canyon. Articles about the GTS were published in the spring summer 2019 issues of the Boatmans Quarterly Review see above. Detailed abstracts of a number of GTS presentations were subsequently added to the GTS Library page of the GCRG website gcrg.org, categorized by topic, as a continuing education resource for the river community. continued at Schedule O
