Service
Event
Come learn about Friends of Trees' Greenspace Initiative (GSI) and
plant trees along the I-205 bike path. This service event is
more than a way to catch-up with friends... it is an opportunity to
learn from a national leader in urban forestry. We invite you to start
off your conference experience by seeing first-hand how they do things
in Portland! Vans depart from the hotel.
Marketing
Seminar
The "Leveraging a Positive Perception in a Competitive Marketplace"
training will provide opportunities for interaction, exercises, and
discussion. The program content is designed to focus on the
fundamentals of good marketing with community trees as the product. The
session is included with registration, so plan your
travel accordingly.
Scholarships
A limited number of travel scholarships are available to help defray
airfare and lodging costs for 501c3 member organizations. This
scholarship is available through generous support from The Home Depot
Foundation, National Tree Trust, and USDA Forest Service.
More details are coming, but please hold these
dates. We hope to see you this November in Portland!
