All sessions will take place at the Sheraton Atlanta. Atlanta is a  
vital city with ambitious goals for sustaining its urban tree canopy  
through public and private cooperation.

The ACT meeting agenda on November 17 features research about trees as  
a tool for community revitalization, nonprofit executive networking,  
grassroots program models, and NeighborWoods tools for community  
organizing. The 2008 NeighborWoods Luncheon sponsored by The Home  
Depot Foundation will recognize NeighborWoods award winners and  
exemplary nonprofit partnerships.

Geared toward nonprofit executives, volunteer organizers, and  
community advocates, the ACT Annual Meeting & NeighborWoods Academy is  
a great way to energize and connect with others working to restore  
tree canopy and make communities better places to live.

We are grateful for the assistance of The Home Depot Foundation in  
making this event possible.
