experiences and views. Of course, we also invite you to comment on their
thoughts.

welcome Cameron Davis, President and Executive Director of the Alliance
for the Great Lakes. Don't miss your chance to
read and respond to Cameron Davis' Great Lakes perspectives every day this week

Lakes Town Hall!

In addition to guest speakers, the Great Lakes Town Hall
focuses on a new featured Great Lakes issue
each week, provided by co-moderators Jeffrey Potter, Dave Dempsey, Gary Wilson,
and Brenna Wanous. This week, Gary compares the environmental restoration plan
of the Everglades to that of the Great Lakes to gain insight on how the Great
Lakes restoration might avoid the issues and challenges that the Everglades restoration faces.
Don't miss this great opportunity to read
and comment on our featured issue - Everglades Restoration Stalled - What Can We Learn?
- and the thoughts of Cameron Davis, in the Great Lakes Town Hall
all this week!
Guest speakers contribute content on a Great Lakes topic of their choice for five days. While
there are basic rules of conduct, guest speakers are unedited and diverse views
are welcome. If you are interested in serving
