Greetings!
You only have a little while left to send us your 2010 LEP National Workshop concurrent or workshop session presentation proposal, which is due on April 1st for the upcoming conference in Baraboo.
Top Reasons To Present:
* Is your graduate, undergraduate or professional work related to communities, human and/or natural? Connecting the two? Showcase your work and network with others!
* Share your ideas and expertise with a network of 100 or more formal and non formal educators from across the country
* Help education professionals conquer today’s challenges
* Add to your resume: only 15 presenters will be selected by a panel of other educators

We encourage you to create sessions that help offer new skills to develop and lead conservation and environmental education projects in your home communities. Sessions will inspire attendees with success stories of projects that creatively link individuals and their natural communities to benefit both. They will also provide participants with practical skills to take home.
