Do you have ideas for next year's 2013 Ecological Society of America Opening Plenary?
If you've been to an ESA meeting, you probably know that it officially kicks off with the Opening Plenary on the Sunday evening of the meeting. We've had some great Opening Plenary speakers over the years including Jane Lubchenco, David Suzuki, Don Kennedy, Sandra Postel, Cristian Samper and many others who inspired us and set the tone for the meeting. Next summer, ESA's 98th Annual Meeting will be held in Minneapolis, MN with the theme of Sustainable Pathways: Learning from the Past and Shaping the Future. Who would you like to see as next year's Opening Plenary speaker? We're looking for someone (s/he doesn't need to be an ecologist) who may move, inspire, provoke or motivate us and whose insights need to be heard by our community. ESA doesn't pay speaker fees but we've managed to attract impressive folks in the past. If you have suggestions, please drop us an email at [email protected]
