It is not too soon to begin planning to attend the fourth annual summer "Audubon Leadership Workshop" at the Hog Island Audubon Camp, set for August 10-16, 2008! Early signups are encouraged to take advantage of National/Chapter scholarship opportunities.

Designed especially for active Chapter leaders, this weeklong session will build and deepen your expertise and ability to enhance Audubon's effectiveness at all levels. Led by top-level State and National Audubon program staff and thoroughly experienced Chapter volunteers, participants will enjoy a combination of daily workshops, special presentations, and lively discussions, as well as the traditional Maine field trips, serenity and fine food that are hallmarks of the Hog Island Camp. Daily sessions will include an in-depth focus on key Audubon conservation programs including IBAs, Audubon at Home, education and citizen science, as well as State-Chapter partnership opportunities, fundraising, leadership development and training. Last year's participants found the camp session provided great information, useful networking, inspiration, and fun!

A special National scholarship of $200 per person is available to registrants in with a matching scholarship of $200 from her/his local Chapter. (A $250 tuition reduction by Maine Audubon is already included in the price to all workshop registrants.) Please see registration details below.

Dates: August 10-16, 2008

Session fee: Per participant without National/Chapter scholarship aid - $700

Session fee: Per participant with National Scholarship and Matching Chapter Scholarship - $300
