Lake Erie College and The Nature Conservancy would like to invite you to join us on March 2nd-3rd, 2020 at the Lodge at Geneva on the Lake, where we will be hosting a strategic planning and partnership building conference funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.  This conference will serve as the initial gathering of the North East Ohio Natural and Environmental Science Think Tank (NEONESTT).

The goal of this conference is to bring regional constituents from K-12, higher ed, government, non-government, and industry organizations together to help Lake Erie College and The Nature Conservancy develop a strategic plan for a research and educational facility.  Our goal is to provide a central hub for regional environmental data in a way that can serve our communities and we need your help!  The conference will kick off on March 2nd with registration, dinner, and a keynote speaker and March 3 will be devoted to developing a strategic plan for the facility. 

All meals are provided as is overnight accommodations for one guest from your organization (additional guests can reserve rooms at a reduced rate).  Please find instructions below on how to book your room. We look forward to seeing you there!
