"NAAWS has always prided itself for it's excellent training, whether through training conferences, scheduled training, peer training, training materials, or networking. Several years ago a group of NAAWS members got together and created a training manual for Wardens by Wardens; "A View From The Trenches." This is a book of articles written by Wardens from their own experiences to share with other Wardens."
"There has been a second edition and now it is time for a third. Susan Jones, a retired Colorado Warden, has graciously volunteered to coordinate this project."
