Scholarships
Deadline: October 16, 2009
There is still time to apply for one of the limited number of travel
scholarships available. Eligibility
is contingent upon attending the entire conference,
including
either the marketing seminar or service event on Sunday, November 8.
This
scholarship is available through generous support from The Home Depot
Foundation, National Tree Trust, and USDA Forest Service.
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.
See you in
Portland!
