We are looking forward to the ANCA "Thrive Outside" Summit, August 1-5 at Irvine Nature Center in Owings Mills, Md., and we invite you to submit a program proposal! This is an important year as we come together in person to reflect on the past two years, learn from professional colleagues, and Thrive Outside. Proposals are due by May 23.

Summit programming includes Workshops and Facilitated Discussions:

• Workshops are presentation-based sessions where participants learn in-depth on a single topic and expand their skill set. Workshop presenters should be experienced in the topic and able to effectively communicate the subject material. ANCA Members, Business Partners, and Summit Sponsors are welcome to submit workshop proposals.
• Facilitated Discussions are conversational sessions where all participants contribute to the discussion; facilitators guide the dialogue but do not give a formal presentation. ANCA Members and Business Partners are welcome to submit a Facilitated Discussion proposal.

Topics should be relevant to our audience of nature and environmental learning center administrators including executive directors and managers, land managers, education directors, development directors, and board members.
