President’s Letter
Well, it’s not your average Earth Day. One thing that’s been gratifying to me in all this is seeing so many people outside. We’re taking this collective breath to appreciate the environment and what it offers. Our GOMMEA board members are no exception. They’ve been working on fun virtual content (along with wrapping up some winter travels), and we’re proud to share this with you. As a reminder, our full newsletter, along with all its resources, will be available to you if you become a GOMMEA member (memberships start at just $10 for students!) Click here to become a member – once you sign up we’ll send you the full member newsletter.
It’s also Citizen Science month! Check out the articles and events below to participate as a citizen science in your own backyard.
If you haven’t heard the big news – the NMEA annual conference has been postponed until July 2021. Because of all the uncertainty in the world, we’ve also postponed drawing a winner for our NMEA conference raffle until our annual meeting this fall. But that is good news! You still have time to enter by becoming a member: CLICK HERE to sign up! (what better way to celebrate Earth Day than become a member of GOMMEA?!)
Hope you are safe and well – please reach out and let us know how we can help you!
