NAME Conference 2010

Oregon will be your host for the NAME ANNUAL CONFERENCE at Florence on the beautiful Central Oregon Coast. Mark you calendars NOW for July 7-10, 2010. This is NAME’s first visit to Florence, and we have secured the new Florence Event Center for the occasion. Planning is well underway for one the best conference event ever. Florence is a beautiful backdrop for marine and aquatic educators – kayaking on the Siuslaw River or one of the many fresh-water lakes, the famous Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Cape Perpetua National Scenic Area, Siuslaw National Forest, Hecteca Head Lighthouse, and then there’s combing miles of sandy beaches and browsing quaint shops in Old Town Florence.

At present, we are planning pre-conference workshops, exciting speakers and a host of field experiences to enrich the usual unmatched NAME hospitality and social events. A variety of reasonably-priced lodging is available, including great camping.

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE! For more information, contact Bill Hastie, Conference Chair at 503-585-3525 or hastieststuff@mac.com. Contact Joy Tally to be added to the conference mailing list joy.tally@state.or.us
