Greetings Wetland supporters! Finally after a 2-year break beacuse of the pandemic, in-person meetings are happening fast and furious. First, I attended the Annual Meeting of the National Association of Wetland Managers (August 15 – August 18) in Shepherdstown, WV. Then, I went to NC Conservation Network’sconference (August 30 and 31) in Raleigh. Finally, last week I attended the first-ever Future of Conservation Forum (First ever) (September 6-8) in Chapel Hill, NC. That was three conferences in four weeks!
[Click here to read Rick's full message on our website.] There conferences were really good to get back to old friends in person, hearing great presentations and panel discussions. And of course a lot of great networking and renewed interest in partnerships and new partnerships. I hope you will also be about to attend in person meeting, conferences, workshops because there is a lot more to be gained in person — a lot more!

Specific wetland or biology experience is not required; rather, we are looking for a candidate with experience or interest in community mobilization, engagement, and organization, among other skills.
