Every organization strives for successful interpretation; the ability to convey their story in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, it sometimes slips through our fingers as we plan for a big event, search for the next grant or clean a dirty bathroom.

This insightful model will be presented by Allyson Mathis of the NPS. Through interactive discussions and activities, participants will learn how to use the PAIR Model when delivering programs or informally talking with visitors.

Allyson Mathis is the science and education outreach coordinator for the Division of Science and Resource Management at Grand Canyon National Park. She currently works within the NPS to train newly employed park interpreters in the PAIR Model.
