Staying overnight? This year we have a guest speaker to kick the meeting off right! Efland’s own Chris Smith will join us right after dinner to share his experiences with public engagement in his current role as curator of the SECU Daily Planet Theater at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and during his years as a primate technician, educator, social media manager and education manager at the Duke Lemur Center. Chris is a great science communicator and social media specialist who acts as a “Science Correspondent” for the Daily Planet Theater and the Museum. We know he will have some great tips and fun stories to share!

What to Bring
Along with your coffee mug, bring binoculars and walking shoes and your facility’s brochures and information. A special highlight of NCAEEC meetings has always been the items we share with each other! As you pack to attend this year's meeting, think about items you can bring to share with other EE Center folks and help raise funds for NCAEEC, too! We hope you can help by participating in these exciting activities!
Door Prizes: A door prize is an item that is raffled to the membership during the meeting. Past door prizes have included T-shirts, stationery, posters, books, field guides, novelty items, etc. These items are given to the membership as a benefit of attending the meeting and a memento to remember the event and your center.
Auction items: Auction items are significant donations made to the organization in order to raise funds to offset the costs of meetings. Past auction donations have included: baskets of regional treats, handmade afghans, selections of native plants, free registration/meals/lodging for overnight EE programs, hiking gear, high-end logowear and more.
**Note: cash or check payment for auction items is expected at the end of the meeting.
