*On Thursday after the last paper sessions and before the poster session, there will be a joint cash-bar and appetizer mixer for our early career raptor researchers and members interested in RRF’s commitment to Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. There is no cost for this event but it is registration only and limited to 100 registrants. Also on Thursday, after the poster session, there will be an off-site gathering of women working in raptor research and conservation. Details will be forthcoming.
** This event, on Friday October 20, will be at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Included is a buffet of native foods and a native dance troupe that will perform traditional dances. The museum and native arts store are excellent as well. Buses will provide transportation to this event. Registration required.
