Emphasis for 2009<BR>Each year SWCS identifies topics or a theme for special
attention at the Annual Conference. This year the overarching theme of the
conference is Delivering Conservation, Today and Tomorrow. This emphasis will
apply to ALL of the general topic areas for the conference and we encourage you
to tailor your presentation to include the conference theme.<BR><BR>General
Topic Areas<BR>We welcome proposals for presentations that address one or more
of the ongoing areas of emphasis outlined below. These ongoing areas of emphasis
comprise the core work of SWCS work to foster the science and art of
conservation. We have provided a list of illustrative examples of presentations
and issue areas for each of the ongoing areas of emphasis. Please choose one of
these when submitting an abstract. Special consideration will be given to new
insights, techniques, or approaches in addressing each of these general
topics.<BR><BR>At the 2009 SWCS Annual Conference, we would like to explore the
challenges facing the delivery of conservation planning, policy, and practices
today and the issues that must be resolved in order to deliver sustainable soil
and water conservation tomorrow and into the future. We hope that your abstracts
for oral presentations, posters, and symposia will address the technical,
educational, and informational needs of conservationists as we work together to
overcome these challenges.<BR><BR>Options For Participation<BR>There are three
ways you can propose to be part of the 2009 conference program.<BR><BR>1.
Symposia Session: Organize a symposium session that provides more comprehensive
and in-depth coverage of a specific topic.<BR><BR>2. Oral Presentation: Present
a paper reporting the results of research or lessons learned from professional
experience.<BR><BR>3. Poster Presentation: Present a poster reporting the
results of research or lessons learned from professional experience.<BR><BR>We
