Hello COSA!
The deadline for COSA Session submissions is coming up fast! This will be your last reminder to submit! Our presenters are what makes the COSA conference special! The deadline is Friday May 8th at 11:59 pm, but we really need to hear from you now. If you have an idea or know of a great topic that your agency could present, please get an application in! If you have questions or want to run an idea past the committee please reach out now.
This is the time to share that awesome project your agency completed or the new way you are approaching work in the Natural Resource Space!
We are especially looking for submissions relating to:
- Field Operations
- Land Acquisition
- Environmental Education
- Ranger Roles and Responsibilities
As a reminder:
This year’s conference will be held on Monday, October 5th through Wednesday, October 7th, in Crested Butte, CO.
This year’s theme is "Caring for the Commons" and the committee encourages session topics on programs, partnerships, and projects that highlight the work you do to care for our public lands.
Think creatively! What are you and your partners doing that showcase your work and inspire others? The committee encourages submissions on engaging topics that will expand our collective knowledge of open spaces. Preference will be given to interactive presentations that invite dialogue and constructive debate as well as those with multiple partners submitted by an open space agency. The sessions are 60 minutes in length, requests for two 60 minute sessions will also be considered.
