Call for Presentations 

Mark your calendars for 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. 

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.

introduce new ideas, convey useful strategies, identify lessons learned,

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.
