AT opportunities are available at the annual meeting.
This year’s event will mark the Texas Master Naturalist Program’s 17th Annual Meeting and will be the 18th year of the program. This year’s meeting will be held on the edge of the East Texas pineywoods, where the pines and the metropolis of Houston meet. La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa on the shores of Lake Conroe, with award winning amenities, a grand conference center and critically acclaimed banquet services, will play host to our Master Naturalists as they engage in educational training opportunities throughout the weekend. The Annual Meeting provides an opportunity for the Texas Master Naturalist volunteers from around the state to gather, participate in hands-on educational seminars, and 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/projects, and to learn from different chapters from different regions of the state.
We are pleased to extend an invitation to ALL Texas Master Naturalist Program volunteers, along with all other program affiliates. This includes those certified volunteers, those still in training, program administrators and advisors of local chapters, and your local chapter partners, sponsors, or special guests. This year’s gathering has several chapter enhancement and Advanced Training topics to choose from. Our social times, chapter project fair showcase and round table discussions will offer great opportunities to meet your fellow Texas Master Naturalist peers from our 46 Chapters across the state and share new ideas from the past year. Hear what projects your peers are contributing their volunteer time towards and make new acquaintances all at the same time. The Texas Master Naturalist Store and other surprises are also on the agenda. So, come out for a weekend filled with fun, fellowship, and learning on the shores of Lake Conroe in the heart of the pineywoods.
This year’s meeting is scheduled for October 21st through 23rd and will be held at La Torretta Lake Resort and Spa. Registration for this highly anticipated event is NOW available through the Annual Meeting page on the Texas Master Naturalist state website at http://txmn.org/2016-annual-meeting/. Additional information about the annual gathering weekend, annual awards and contests, the advanced training sessions agenda, and registration details can be found on the website as well.
