  For the NFTGA's next educational program,  join us for a dynamic presentation from the San Francisco Tour Guide Guild (SFTGG) where they will journey through their rich history and take an honest look at the challenges they're navigating today—many of which are shared by guide organizations across the country and around the world. This conversation will help us understand where we are, what we’re up against, and how we can continue to grow together as a professional community.

  
  

  The SFTGG will also spotlight Tunnel Tops, a lesser-known Presidio treasure featuring sweeping Golden Gate Bridge views, tasty food trucks and coffee options, clean and comfortable restrooms, and a welcoming visitor center—an ideal spot to enhance your tours and delight your guests.

  
  

  If you are unable to attend the live-stream, the recording will be available to watch for the following 30 days. If you have any feedback, including changing the contact information for future NFTGA Education Programs, please email Mike McMains (mike@tourswithmike.com) from the Chicago Tour Guide Professionals Association.
