The Texas Master Naturalist 17th Annual Meeting is NOW accepting proposals for presentations! This year’s Annual Meeting will be held October 21st, 22nd and 23rd, 2016 at the La Torretta Lakeside Resort & Spa on the shores of Lake Conroe near Montgomery, Texas.
Meeting Overview
The Texas Master Naturalist Annual Meeting is geared toward Texas Master Naturalist volunteers, their chapters, agency advisors, representatives of partner organizations and supporters of the statewide TMN Program. The meeting provides an opportunity for our volunteers and affiliates to receive all of their Advanced Training requirements for the year within one weekend. It’s also an opportunity for program participants and supporters to network, share new ideas and projects and to learn from one another.
Special topics we are hoping to have presentation focus given to for 2016 include – Developing and utilizing social media resources; Non-game species and the roles they play in conservation across the state; engaging diverse audiences in the Master Naturalist programs – as members and as an audience; leadership skills for managing groups of volunteers when conflicts arise; the shared roles of hunters & recreational natural resource users in the larger game of Texas conservation plans
