Do you enjoy sharing stories of restoration strategies, successes or lessons learned? We’re seeking a few folks who can coordinate with our Strategic Communications committee and either write or recruit articles on timely topics of interest for SERNW members.
Presentation Reviewer

Are you interested in helping with a vital part of the conference? We’re seeking a few folks to help review presentation abstracts submitted for consideration. We’ll ask you to review 10-25 abstracts over a month timeframe leading up to our regional conference. You’ll review each abstract, provide a recommendation as to whether it meets conference criteria, provide some information to help sort it into an appropriate symposia, and if appropriate, you may provide limited feedback on abstracts to some presenters.
