2008 NAI National Workshop
November 11-15, 2008, Portland, Oregon |
| Join NAI in the Pacific Northwest |
|
| The NAI 2008 National Workshop will reveal a bounty
of natural and cultural riches. NAI 2008 will offer the chance to explore the Oregon Cascade Mountains, Willamette Valley, Columbia River Gorge, and Pacific Coast, as well as all the professional development and networking opportunities you find at every NAI Workshop.
The workshop slogan, "Sustaining the Circle," refers not only to the role of interpretation in promoting a positive conservation ethic, but alludes to Enos Mills' charge to "increase the tribe" by widening the circle of interpreters.
