2012 NAAEE CONFERENCE - IT'S GOING TO BE THE COOLEST!
Don't know how we were so prescient, but NAAEE has picked the "in" spot in the U.S. for the 41st Annual Conference, set for October 10-13, 2012. During the first week of 2012, the New York Times released its list of "The 45 Places to Go in 2012." And the first North American location on the list was Oakland, CA. It's number five on the list after Panama, Helsinki, Myanmar, and London.
