Conference 2008 is a Green
Gathering!
Bring a mug to the conference.
We will have decorative mugs on sale and a few for loan. This
simple individual act will save 2000 Styrofoam cups.
All
registration will be on-line with an electronic database.
This should save the need to print an extensive program book. We will
still print summaries and pre-registration packages but these will be in
limited numbers. On-line registration will be a new experience for most
of our members. Actually we expect the on-line experience is a
professional development activity for many members!
Feedback will
also be provided through the website on a printable “pdf” file.
This will create a lot of paper, but less than creating one copy for
every member because less than half are ever used.
We are not trying to be green to save money. The committee does it because we
believe it is simply right! We hope that you will participate by carpooling,
walking, biking or bus riding too.
