Fellow Herpers, The Alaska Herpetological Society is proud to announce that its first annual conference will be held on October 27th, 2012 on the UAA Campus. While we invite you to attend in person, the conference will also be live video-streamed to Fairbanks and Juneau. Our conference is at the tail end of the Alaska Bird Conference and we hope that people will take advantage of coming to town for both events!
This is going to be an exciting conference and it will be a milestone for our new organization. There will be a business meeting, poster session, paper session, art / photo contest, silent auction, community service event and food! Registration and abstract submission are now open on our website - http://www.akherpsociety.org/2012conference.htm. Please note that the deadline to submit an abstract is August 15th. I hope that many members of the AAWG will support us by taking part in the meeting. Please register as soon as possible! P.S. Please consider submitting a herp photograph for our calendar contest too! Details at http://www.akherpsociety.org/ahsphotocontest.htm. With gratitude, Joshua T.
