11th Annual Sustaining Colorado Watersheds Conference

You are cordially invited to submit ideas for presentations at the 11th Annual Sustaining Colorado Watersheds Conference which will take place 11 – 13 October 2016 in Avon, Colorado. This highly popular event expands cooperation and collaboration throughout our state for natural resource conservation, protection, and enhancement by informing citizen groups, agencies, consultants, and legislators about current issues and through networking opportunities. Visit www.coloradowater.org/Conferences to learn more.

The following sub-themes will be featured this year:

• Community conversations across agencies and interest groups
• Empowering change through social intelligence and leadership skills
• Lessons from flood recovery planning and project implementation
• Advancing technical tools and innovations for restoration
• Nexus of water storage with water quality and watershed health
• Linking river use with land use planning

We are requesting your presentation proposal submission by May 16, 2016. Please indicate which of the bulleted points above your talk will focus on. Submittal of an idea does not necessarily mean it will be a part of the conference. The committee will meet to discuss which submissions work best with this year’s theme and will inform you by July 1 if your presentation has been accepted. At that point we’ll ask you for a more detailed abstract and biography. Visit http://www.coloradowater.org/submit-your-paper to complete the online submission form with the following information:

• Presentation title (min 15 characters, max 150 characters)
• Short overview of your presentation (min 200 characters, max 500 characters)
