This page is for participants to sign up for their Break-out and Workshop Sessions.
These selections are important as we work with the staff at John Heinz NWR for final
planning considerations.

For Break-out descriptions, please visit the
Break-out Session page.

The
Taking Action for Diversity in Birding Workshops will have conference
participants working together in smaller groups based on their bird education
focus/expertise. Besides exchanging ideas, the workshop will give each of us a chance
collaborate with similarly focus educators as we develop realistic goals and simple
action plans to reach new, broader audiences with birding opportunities and engage
them with bird education/conservation activities.

These groupings are a work in progress and have been based on information gleaned
from registration forms and other sources. If you have another suggested grouping,
please feel free to send it along!
