GLIN==> 2006 Community Involvement Conference: Call for Presentations

[Kizlauskas.Anthony@epamail.epa.gov]

EPA is soliciting presentation proposals for its 2006
Community Involvement Conference, which will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
June 27-30. This year's theme is:  "Something Good is Brewing:
Achieving Environmental Results through Community Involvement."  This
annual conference is a unique opportunity for a wide array of stakeholders
to come together to share how EPA and its partners are involving communities
in the protection of our air, water and land.  The intended audience
is federal, tribal, state and local governments, environmental and civic
organizations, businesses and others who plan and implement community involvement,
partnership, outreach, and educational programs.

Field Trip Opportunities:  As part of the
proposal solicitation, EPA is looking for local leaders to propose and
organize one of four 2 -3 hour field trips in close proximity to downtown
Milwaukee.  If you have an idea for a field trip and would like to
lead it, please submit your proposal using the information in the Call
for Presenters. It would be very helpful if you would also contact Community
Involvement Coordinator and Field Trip Subcommittee Chair Dave Novak at
(312) 886-7478, novak.dave@epa.gov with your idea.

How to Submit a Presentation Proposal:  Information
and instructions for submitting a proposal is available on EPA's Web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ciconference/2006.  The Call for Presenters also
includes information about the estimated conference registration fee and
travel reimbursement options for non-federal government presenters. Presentation
proposals can be submitted through the conference Web site (on-line form
still under development, but a downloadable file is available that can
be sent by e-mail), fax, or mail. 

Presentation proposals: due January 18.
