The 78th?North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference will be held March 24-29, 2013, in Arlington, Virginia.?The Conference Steering Committee is seeking ideas and participation from professional conservation interests to help develop the conference agenda. In particular, recommendations for topics, potential co-chairs and presenters for four Special Sessions are invited. Ideas for prospective plenary keynoters are also welcome.

Special Sessions topics address timely policy and program issues and opportunities related to the practical and philosophical professional management of natural resources. The Steering Committee gives foremost consideration to recommendations that are fully framed for the two-hour time period each Special Session is allotted following the Opening (plenary) Session on Wednesday morning, March 27. However, all ideas are given careful consideration.

Recommendations and suggestions should be emailed to?Matt Dunfee by April 20.
