Description
There is still an opportunity for individuals and agencies to share their sustainability accomplishments with the larger correctional community at the ACA Winter Conference January 22-27, in New Orleans. The deadline for submitting proposals is September 11. To submit a proposal follow this link http://www.aca.org/ACA_Prod_IMIS/ACA_Member/Meetings/WorkshopProposal_home_loggedin.aspx or email JeremyK@aca.org with a copy to Art Beeler at AFBJAB@GreenPrisons.org or George Berghorn at George@GreenPrisons.org.
We have a particular interest in hearing from agencies who have had significant success with water or waste stream management but any sustainable topic is appropriate.
