[CPEO-BIF] Restoration 2007 travel scholarships - May 2-4 in NOLA

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Last year, more than a thousand leaders concerned with disaster 
management from the public, private and non-profit sectors attended the 
Restoration 2006 Conference to work on a new approach to emergency 
management and post-disaster recovery.

Join us on May 2-4 at the New Orleans Sheraton for Restoration 2007: 
Innovation, Leadership and Networks for Post-Disaster Recovery which 
promises to be a ground-breaking event in the world of post-disaster 
recovery.

This national conference, sponsored by ICMA, the premier local 
government leadership and management organization in cooperation with 
dozens of co-sponsoring organizations, concentrates on how to foster 
community redevelopment and revitalization following a disaster.  The 
event features dozens of educational sessions and roundtable discussions.

Notable speakers this year include Dr. Douglas Brinkley, Director of the 
Theodore Roosevelt Center for American Civilization and Professor of 
History at Tulane University, author of The Great Deluge and Dr. Edward 
Blakely, Executive Director of Recovery Management from the City of New 
Orleans.

ICMA is pleased to offer, with sponsorship by the U.S. EPA Office of 
Brownfields Cleanup and Redevelopment, a limited number of travel 
scholarships for individuals interested in attending the Restoration 
2007 conference that cannot attend without financial assistance. Travel 
scholarships will cover the conference registration fee as well as two 
night's hotel accommodations.

To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants must be affiliated with, or 
a representative of a local government. Communities currently in the 
process of restoration after a disaster are encouraged to apply but all 
applications will be considered.

Please go to www.Restoration2007.org for information about the 
conference. For more information contact Sheritha Wright at 
swright@icma.org or visit the Travel Scholarships Information Page.

The application form can be faxed, mailed, or emailed to Sheritha Wright 
and must be received no later than Monday, April 16, 2007.
