| We respectfully invite you to the Focus on Diversity: Changing the Face of American Birding Conference at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Philadelphia, PA on October 22, 2011. You will be joining concerned birders, birding organizations, and other conservation-minded entities as we convene in the City of Brotherly Love to make a real difference for our birding community and the birds themselves. Conference registration materials are now available in PDF or Word format. There is an Early Bird Discount for registrations received by August 31. The first 50 registrants will be entered into a drawing for a pair of Leupold Yosemite 6 X 30 binoculars. (courtesy of Leupold Optics.) Registration deadline is October 8th. We welcome you to become a sponsor and show your support for these efforts. Thank you to our conference sponsors! |
