Vista Outdoor's Talent Acquisition Team sponsored an amazing networking brunch at the Outdoor Retailer (OR) Summer show in Salt Lake City earlier this week! The Basecamp Networking Brunch gave women, non-binary and agender folks a gathering spot to see friends, build new relationships and share insights about working in the outdoor industry.
The event kicked off with an energizing welcome by Jenna Celmer, Co-Founder and Chief Community Officer of Basecamp Outdoor, an online community connecting individuals in the outdoor, active lifestyle, and action sports industries. Celmer highlighted the importance of networking, building strong relationships and empowerment.
Krista Kirkeeide, Talent Acquisition Manager at Vista Outdoor, followed by introducing the Vista Outdoor team (Kayla Reiner, Tarina Pleasants, Jackie Robinette and Christine Roth), sharing their excitement of participation in this event and providing an overview of Vista Outdoor and its 41 brands to OR attendees.
The discussions were lively and engaging, covering topics such as workplace challenges, strategies to break into the outdoor industry and how to leverage passion for the outdoors. Everyone was enthusiastic about sharing their perspectives and experiences and inspiring each other along the way.
This Women's + Enby networking brunch was an unforgettable experience for all involved. Truly a great opportunity to connect, learn and support each other on their journeys. Many expressed their gratitude for the organizers and sponsors for creating such a valuable and inclusive event.
The networking does not stop here. Here are some ways to connect with the Vista Outdoor and Basecamp teams.
