Are you looking for costume ideas for our Saturday night banquet or for Halloween? Look no further - we've got you covered! Our banquet theme this year is Escape to the Estuary as a nod to our location close to the biologically diverse and important Hudson River Estuary. As we approach the conference we will be posting some costume ideas to inspire you. If you wear an estuary-esque costume for Halloween this weekend let us know!

Everyone needs a friend!
Are you coming to conference alone or for the first time? Are you a seasoned conference veteran? Our networking and mentorship initiative, Worthwhile Interconnectedness, Networking, Growth, and Support (W.I.N.G.S.) is here to help connect you with others in the field to combat compassion fatigue, burnout, and loneliness while increasing educational opportunities.

Our conference "buddy system" brings those newer to NYSWRC's conferences into the fold by those who have attended for a few years. The intention of this is to create a welcoming and open environment for learning and growing together while making sure you can make connections and meet people while at the conference.
Fill out this very short survey (link below) to let us know your interest in our new buddy system!

If you have any questions or issues with the survey, please email [email protected].
