If you've known us for a while, then you might know that we always attend the Northwest Environmental Conference & Tradeshow in Portland each December. It's the region's conference for environmental, operations, and sustainability professionals. We like to go because it's an excellent chance to catch up with colleagues and meet potential new instructors and attendees for our courses.

We also always present a couple of our classes that are the most relevant to environmental professionals in the NW region at a special conference price. This year we are offering Wetlands Permitting and Effective Speaking When the Heat is On the day after the main conference ends, December 11, 2014. So you can attend the conference, then learn how to navigate the maze of requirements for obtaining a permit for any project that affects wetlands, or learn and practice techniques used by professional speakers to command attention, encourage action, and get audiences to accept change. To learn more about these courses, click the links above or the pictures below. And we hope that you'll come by and see us at the tradeshow, and in one of these valuable classes!
