Due to limited space, this meeting requires an RSVP. Please respond to Jamie Mooney, mooneyja@uw.edu, 206.616.3368 , to be added to the list of attendees. We can only accept 30 attendees on a first come, first served basis.

If there is a high demand and we are not able to accommodate everyone who is interested in attending, we will work to schedule another Coastal and Shoreline Planners session on this topic. Please do not distribute this announcement beyond the listserv due to limited capacity.
