|
The agenda and registration information on The Foundation for Pennsylvania Watersheds' Capacity Building Symposium on May 1 in State College has just been released.
Citizens from all walks of Pennsylvania’s watershed community will have the opportunity to share their expertise and wisdom, as well as learn from peers. Participants will include community watershed organizations, Trout Unlimited chapters, and sportsmen’s groups, along with environmental professionals from conservation districts, government agencies, academia, and consulting firms.
On May 1 the Symposium will begin at 8:20 a.m., with one of our keynote speakers. There will be eight breakout sessions, each of which will be offered twice during the morning and will focus on the areas of organizational development and technical assistance.
The Organizational Track will cover topics relating to board development, community engagement, and financial opportunities and diversity.
The Technical Track will offer information on Datashed, volunteer monitoring, available resources for community watershed organizations, and the current issues surrounding Marcellus Shale gas well drilling.
Our second keynote speaker will present after lunch. Attendees will then work together to prioritize their expectations for the incoming Governor of Pennsylvania and meet the newest allies in the efforts to renew Growing Greener.
Please come early to enjoy our Friday evening reception featuring appetizers, a cash bar, and opportunities to network with colleagues and other professionals in the display area.
The Symposium is sponsored by the Foundation, the Department of Environmental Protection, and the Bayer Center for Nonprofit Management at Robert Morris University.
