Happy Friday everyone –
The COSA steering committee is looking forward to seeing you at the COSA conference at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Vail from Oct 11th – 13th, and exploring topics together related to this year’s theme – “Expect the Unexpected: Building Resilience to Adapt to Change.”
We are a mere two weeks away from the deadline to submit a conference session proposal on Friday May 14th. The COSA community has submitted a number of great session proposals but we still need your session idea to round out the depth and breadth of conference topics, including potential sessions focusing on:
· Innovative management of land with limited staffing
· Managing extreme increases in users
· Educating and welcoming new users
· Tackling large wildfires and fire mitigation
· Balancing a shrinking budget in a pandemic
· Responding to demographic shifts and serving inordinately impacted populations
· Climate adaptation strategies
· Other interesting ideas related to resiliency and adaptation

Thanks,
Justin
