Our goals for our 44th Annual Conference are three-fold: we want to celebrate and recognize the achievements of youth and community leaders (of all ages), civic groups, businesses and governments; offer an array

provide unparalleled networking opportunities and exciting presentations
from knowledgeable experts and those with a passion for the
environment.

We are actively planning for the 2011 conference, which is scheduled June 20-23, 2011 and will once again be held at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center in Austin. Keep this page bookmarked, and remember to check back periodically for more information!
