Everglades Restoration… What do we have to lose?
The Everglades Coalition invites you to our 2008 Annual Conference at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River on beautiful Captiva Island to be held January 10 – 13, 2008. The Annual Conference brings together non-profit, government and private interests in the largest annual forum for Everglades conservation and restoration.

The Coalition's annual conference seeks to raise critical, timely issues to the surface for in depth debates in an open, accessible forum. Senators, Members of Congress, and political figures come to discuss their positions, pledge their support and offer challenges to the community. The conference is attended by decision makers from federal, state, local and tribal governments, agency representatives, stakeholders and a vast array of public and private interests including scientists, educators, contractors, conservationists, the media, students and the general public.

Global Climate Change: Florida Solutions
The fourth annual CNU Florida Statewide Meeting will be held at Rollins College in downtown Winter Park on the 24 - 25 of January 2008. This year’s Statewide Meeting brings home CNU National’s message "New Urban is the convenient solution to the inconvenient truth." An essential element of the state chapter’s annual activities, this Statewide Meeting seeks to bridge the gap between the annual CNU national Congress and the regional group gatherings that have occurred regularly throughout Florida. Furthermore, the Statewide Meeting is an opportunity for CNU members from around the state to come together to discuss issues of regional or statewide concern, to learn about the latest ideas, findings and projects, and to network.
