2009 Environmental Summit |
ª Agenda ª Register ª Advocates Survey ª Directions ª Last Year's Summit | |
| | CTLCV's 2009 Environmental Summit will be held on December 2, 2009. This annual conference is sponsored by the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, our 501(c)(3) sister organization.
The goal of this event is for environmental leaders to share information and sort through legislative issues prior to the 2010 legislative session. The gathering includes both environmental groups and legislators. Last year, 150 participants representing 40 environmental groups met to network and discuss environmental issues to be addressed during the 2009 legislative session. We anticipate similarly strong turnout again this year.
Please mark your calendars and be sure to join us for this unique opportunity to build on successful collaborative efforts from the past and find new ways to support one another's efforts in the future. |
