American Trails 
19th National Trails Symposium 
Little Rock, Arkansas 
November 15-18, 2008 

Call for Presentations Deadline: 
April 18, 2008 

Mark your calendar for the American Trails 19th National Trails
Symposium in Little Rock, Arkansas, November 15-18, 2008. The theme for
the 2008 Symposium is Innovative Trails: Transforming the American Way
of Life. To help us develop an exciting and motivating program for the
Symposium, we invite you to submit ideas for presentations in support of
the Symposium's theme. We expect to offer 40 concurrent sessions, each
lasting 75 minutes.

The Program Committee is particularly seeking presentations that
introduce new ideas, convey useful strategies, identify lessons learned,
and strengthen participants' existing skills and knowledge - in the
spirit of the Symposium theme. Potential topics for presentations
include, but are definitely not limited to, the general topic areas that
you will find included in the Call

Another opportunity, in a smaller scale format, to display information
about your project or issue to a wide audience is creating a poster.
Posters will be displayed in a common area throughout the Symposium.
Individuals displaying posters will also have an opportunity to share
their "story" and to meet with interested attendees at designated times
during the Symposium.
