PROGRAM:   Join longtime RMGA member Steve Kaverman for our May program.  Ethan Magusin, RMGA's 2020 Program Chairman has arranged for Steve to present what promises to be a practical and educational look at interpreting geology...for the non-geologist.  The program, titled Geology Rocks was originally presented during the 2019 Tour and Talent Exchange Conference for the International Association of Tour Directors and Guides (IATDG), held in Orlando last November.
Steve developed the program to help tour guides and tour directors explain how the three main types of rocks - sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous - are formed.  In words, pictures and diagrams he will explain their basic characteristics, and the influence those characteristics have on the scencry and landscapes here in Colorado, or anywhere interpreting geology might enhance your tour commentary and improve your guest's experience. 
Steve is a graduate of the International Guide Academy.  He has completed both the tour director and tour guide courses, and served as an IGA faculty member.  He gained certification as an Interpretive Guide through the National Association for Interpretation in 2014.  He has traveled professionally in all but a few states, seven Canadian provinces, Mexico and Costa Rica.  When he's not managing tours across North America, Steve works as a driver/guide for Colorado Jeep Tours near his home in Cañon City.  Steve served as a board member for the Colorado Tourism Office, and is a popular speaker and trainer at industry conferences.  He markets his services under the trademark Tourism Champion, and can be found at tourismchampion.com
