As we all finalize our plans for the AIC conference, I want to be sure you are all aware of the totally awesome pre session that is in place on Monday, May 13th. Yes, it's early, but it will be totally worth it! After a resounding success last year, the AIC's Equity and Inclusion Committee is hosting its second pre-session: "Global Relevance, Local Action: Conservation at Work in Communities". If you haven't had a chance, please check out the full agenda for the day: https://aics47thannualmeeting2019.sched.com/event/IvlE/global-relevance-local-action-conservation-at-work-in-communities. We've got some great speakers lined up (see bottom of this message for a full agenda).
I wanted to let you all know to share the event with your colleagues, and if you are local(ish) to the event site and have colleagues who may not be attending all of AIC, but would be interested in attending, that registration is only $69 (inclusive of lunch) and you need not be registered for the conference to attend the pre-session. We hope to more strongly encourage non-conservators and local community members to attend to broaden our discussion of these important topics, so feel free to share! Hope to see you there!
