Hello, VMNs. As we come up on the Summer Solstice next week, enjoy the sunshine and long evenings filled with lighting bugs. If you’d like to be mesmerized by a different light, pick up a device and catch up on the VMN program’s Bi-weekly emails.
This email includes:
Conference Update
On the 2024 VMN Statewide Conference webpage, you can now find the full event program and information about our conference tickets and registration fees.
Registration doesn’t open until August, but please start perusing the program and getting as excited as we are about all the terrific presenters and special sessions like Flash Talks by VMN Educators Bureau volunteers!
Speaking of the Educators Bureau….
Open Enrollment Period for the VMN Educators Bureau
Each year in June and December, we open the opportunity for additional volunteers to sign up for our VMN Educators Bureau. If you are willing and able to teach others, please read on and sign up!
The VMN Educators Bureau is an up-to-date listing of VMN volunteers willing to teach other VMNs, give presentations for community groups, lead nature walks, lead environmental education activities for youth, or do any other form of education related to natural resources. Our goal is to increase VMN engagement in Education & Outreach, help our program reach new audiences, and help us respond better to requests for presenters.
Want to join the Educators Bureau for the first time? If you are a VMN interested and willing to teach others and lead educational programs of any kind on natural resource topics and if you are not already signed up, we invite you to complete our Educators Bureau form between now and June 22nd. By completing the form, you aren't committing to any specific opportunity at this point but simply indicating your willingness to be contacted if an opportunity arises that fits your particular profile. On the form, we provide more details on how your information will be used and how you can update your information later.
URL for form for NEW signups: https://forms.gle/TaoMGL8FC9CwMDx76
Already signed up for the Educators Bureau? VMN volunteers who signed up for the Educators Bureau in the past should not use the link for new people, as that will result in your being listed twice. If you are already in the database, you instead should have received an email last week with a personalized link to view and edit your own existing listing. If you did not receive the email, first check your Spam/Junk folder. If it isn’t there, you can contact [email protected] to get the information and individualized link that you need.
Kudos to all our Educators Bureau members, new and seasoned! We have been able to fill a wide diversity of presenter requests, thanks to you! Our next ‘open enrollment period’ for the Educators Bureau will be in December.
