Space is very limited and registration deadline is only about a month
away! A few scholarships are available.
"How could anything be more relevant? This is the first time I've been
provided a concrete, focused road map for a straightforward process to
bring people together /despite/ conflict to create workable
solutions...I feel well-equipped...!"
- Juliette Wilson, US Geological Survey
"This course was extremely relevant to the everyday issues, large and
small, we deal with in conservation. It is rare to emerge from a 3-day
course and feel that something new was gained and could be put into
action the following day. Thank you!"
