=== Training Centers ===
This might confuse folks a bit because '''a Training Center is a role for a ''person'', not a place.''' Calling this role a "training center" puts the parlance in line with organizations such as [https://goto.hsi.com/safety-management-software?leadsourcelvl1=MKT+-+Google+Adwords&leadsourcelvl2=EHS+-+US+-+Search&leadsourcelvl3=safety-management-software&kw=safety%20training%20programs&cpn=19753733452&utm_term=safety%20training%20programs&utm_campaign=SMS+-+US+-+Search+-+EHS+Essentials&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=5110386882&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_cam=19753733452&hsa_ad=652468232856&hsa_kw=safety%20training%20programs&hsa_grp=147979472832&hsa_mt=b&hsa_ver=3&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=aud-470099037279:kwd-14027133&gclid=Cj0KCQiAr8eqBhD3ARIsAIe-buNZGM0PqhVO2p1ufMbrJ-BCnt8VdGKCmwYwO1CO7nAVW7AJEIDD7hIaApwrEALw_wcB HSI]. Glenn, for example, is an HSI Training Center.<ref>If you're wondering, HSI is the organization through which PBEM certifies for Stop the Bleed, First Aid, Wilderness First Aid, and a smattering of other stuff.</ref> In that role, he can schedule HSI classes, assign instructors, and certify trainees. It's the same idea here, but for Portland NET. The role would be available to any active NET volunteer in good standing.
A Training Center would be responsible for coordinating (not necessarily instructing) multiple training events every year for NET, BEECN, and ATV volunteers. Dates/times/locations/frequency/event size of training events would be entirely up to them. Whatever a Training Center decides, PBEM publishes their training events to a training calendar accessible through MIP for signup. Optimally, a Training Center would put on training events that any volunteer can attend (in other words, a Training Center is "at large" and not defined by a neighborhood). But we can explore assigning a Training Center to a specific area of the City.
My model for this (though he may not know it) is Woodstock TL Mark Ginsberg.
