FMCS SPONSORSHIP
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 FMCS Symposium will be held virtually from Monday, April 12 through Wednesday, April 14, 2021. This is a new concept for many of us and we will be interested in what members think about it. The meeting theme is BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE VIRTUAL UNKNOWN. The goal for this symposium is to focus on how humans and freshwater systems can coexist to ensure the long-term persistence of freshwater mollusks. The symposium will bring together regulators, researchers, consultants and enthusiasts in a forum that will allow for collaboration opportunities and information exchange. This meeting will feature a mixture of live (synchronous) and web-posted (asynchronous) contributed oral and poster presentations and events. The live ZOOM events will include a Board meeting, a plenary session, two breakout-room committee meeting events, two theme-based networking and social breakout-room events, and the Business Meeting, and will occur between 11 am and 5 pm Eastern time (U.S.) each day.
The FMCS is a not-for-profit, dedicated to the advocacy and conservation science of freshwater mollusks. The FMCS symposium provides a great opportunity to network and build relationships with conservation professionals from state and federal government, industry, and conservation organizations. The Society has a membership of 500, and 250 members generally attend the biennial symposium. These professionals are constantly working to conserve mollusks, and we need your help. We are requesting monetary sponsorship to help defray the costs of the meeting.
