The 41st Annual Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention and Water Action Volunteer Symposium will be held April 10-12, 2019 in Stevens Point, WI.  

This year's theme "Paying it Forward"  is a popular concept. When someone does something for you, instead of paying that person back directly, you pass it on to another person instead. This practice can certainly be seen with lake and stream volunteers, professionals in natural resource management, and all those who value our precious water resources. Many of us automatically do this type of activity every day. At the 2019 Convention, we will share some of these inspiring stories of "Paying it Forward".

Presentation submissions should address this broad theme of "Paying it Forward". What benefits have you received that you can now pay forward? What efforts have you or your  organization done to help our lakes and the people of future generations to enjoy them, as we have? What are some action items that we can do to "pay it forward" as we learn about our water resources? As you prepare your description, please include how this discussion can be applied to the overall watershed area.    

EXTENDED DEADLINE:  OCTOBER 1, 2018
