Scholarships
Deadline: October 16, 2009
There is still time to apply for one of the limited number of travel  
scholarships available. Eligibility is contingent upon attending the  
entire conference, including either the marketing seminar or service  
event on Sunday, November 8. This scholarship is available through  
generous support from The Home Depot Foundation, National Tree Trust,  
and USDA Forest Service.

Service Event
Come learn about Friends of Trees' Greenspace Initiative (GSI) and  
plant trees along the I-205 bike path. This service event is more than  
a way to catch-up with friends... it is an opportunity to learn from a  
national leader in urban forestry. We invite you to start off your  
conference experience by seeing first-hand how they do things in  
Portland! Vans depart from the hotel.

Marketing Seminar
The "Leveraging a Positive Perception in a Competitive Marketplace"  
training will provide opportunities for interaction, exercises, and  
discussion. The program content is designed to focus on the  
fundamentals of good marketing with community trees as the product.  
The session is included with registration, so plan your travel  
accordingly.

See you in Portland!
