Participants will have opportunities to learn from regional success stories, share ideas, and develop strategies to support long-term sustainability action planning in their schools and districts.

Middle and high school students, teachers, administrators, facilities managers, superintendents, community-based organizations, and community partners are all encouraged to attend.
