FedCenter - Call for Presentations

2009 Federal Environmental Symposia
Call for Presentation Abstracts

This year's theme for the Symposia – Progress and Transition – has two goals that focus on agencies' sustainability accomplishments of the past year and on additional sustainability initiatives and directions that should be evident in the first few months of the new Administration. The call for presentation abstracts opens here on January 7, 2009 and closes on February 13, 2009, 11:59pm EST.

To make the Symposia a success, please consider participating as a presenter in either Symposium East, Symposium West, or both – to convey information and generate discussion about your organization's own achievements and challenges in this extensive field.

Complete instructions for submitting your presentation abstract are available HERE.

The instructions provide a list of potential topics we would like to see at the symposium. These topics cover sustainability areas identified in Executive Order 13423 as well as other hot Federal environmental issues. And, there's certainly room for additional topics that you think may have broad Federal appeal.

If you work for a Federal agency and are interested in presenting at this year's symposium, please take a few minutes to fill out the form below (available January 7) and become an integral part of this growing forum for the Federal environmental community!

REMINDER: Requests to present at either FES East or FES West (or both) must be received by 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time, February 13, 2009.
