Executive Director of North Carolina Outward Bound School, Whitney Montgomery, said: “It is truly an honor to share Western North Carolina with members of the international Outward Bound organization. In addition to three days of strategic planning and sharing of best practices, we will honor the 75th anniversary of the founding of Outward Bound by Dr. Kurt Hahn.” The theme of the Conference is “Building Today for a Stronger Tomorrow” and representatives from every OBI country are expected to attend; from Canada to Nepal to Australia.
