Comprised of emerging leaders from across the Ohio & Erie Canalway, our associate board is dedicated to learning more about the National Heritage Area and helping it grow. Established in 2014, the associate board has worked on various volunteer and trail improvement projects while supporting the Ohio & Erie Canalway. Key involvement includes:
-
Leading a project committee to develop Towpath Trail underpasses through Akron as part of iTowpath.
-
Forming teams as participants in the annual Huntington Towpath Century Ride.
-
Volunteering for and gathering additional volunteers for events, programs, trail projects, and cleanups.
