Subject: Summit Call for Speakers: November 19, 2004
Dear Colleague:
The Summit open call for speakers has gone out to pollution prevention
activists, compliance assistance ambassadors, environmental policy
innovators, industry environmental leaders, sustainability pioneers - to
all of you who are renewing the environmental protection infrastructure
of the US.
Next Friday, November 19, 2004 is the deadline to submit your proposals
for papers, panel sessions, dialogues or work sessions for the 2005
National Environmental Partnership Summit.
There are opportunities to participate in new ways that could advance
your professional goals. We are asking that you not only think about
sharing your own work through the presentation of a paper, but consider
hosting an entire hand crafted session, facilitating a lively dialogue or
hosting a results oriented project work session.
This years summit will be even better than the last. We expect to be
joined by at least 150 of our environmental partners representing
industry who are members of the Performance Track Participants
Association. So all elements of the environmental action equation will be
here to learn with and from!
