Site Selection Committee

 Do you have a passion for landscape ecology? Are you located near nature that other landscape ecologists would enjoy experiencing? Is your location an awesome place to gather? If you said yes to any of these questions, please consider hosting the 2027 IALE-NA annual meeting. This is a rewarding networking and leadership experience that looks great on a CV! Host committees consist of several people who divide responsibilities and work closely with the IALE-NA Executive Committee and Delaney Event Management. Learn about past meetings here. Interested or have questions? Contact: Kevin Potter

These are great opportunities for professional development and to work with amazing people! Committee descriptions are found here.
