<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings everyone ~<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The following is an update from the Executive Office of the
Society for Conservation Biology. You are receiving this email because
you are on one or more of our listservs. For those of you who are on more
than one listserv, you will receive this message more than once. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#548DD4'>MOVING!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>After several years of relying on the kindness of The Nature
Conservancy to provide us with a home, we finally just outgrew our space and
purchased our own office! Our new office will be in the heart of the
United States' capital, Washington, DC. We will soon bid a fond farewell
to TNC with many, many thanks for their support hospitality over the
years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On Thursday, April 24th, we will close our office in
Arlington, Virginia and move to our new office space in Washington, DC.
We will open our doors again on Tuesday, April 29th. The new address and
phone number are listed in the signature below. For those of you who
track these things, please update your records accordingly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are extremely excited about the change - and for those of
you who have seen our current office space, we're even more excited about the prospect
of having windows! We look forward to showing off our new space to any or
all of you whenever you may be in town.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#548DD4'>ANNUAL MEETING<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In other news, I'd like to take the opportunity to remind
everyone of our upcoming annual meeting. This year, we will be hosted by
the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Chattanooga is nestled in a
beautiful valley between the Appalachian and Cumberland mountain chains.
A host of field trip opportunities await you along with our usual outstanding
array of symposia and other programs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>To register and/or to volunteer at the conference, visit <a
href="http://www.conbio.org">www.conbio.org</a> and click on the image of the
Tennessee Valley. Be sure to stop by the SCB booth to learn about
Sections, Chapters, Working Groups, and the Smith Fellows Program. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#548DD4'>OTHER UPDATES<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In June, the Smith Fellows program will announce the request
for proposals for the Class of 2009 Smith Fellows with a deadline for receipt
of application materials in September 2008. For more information on the
Smith Fellows program and our current fellows, please visit <a

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Last, but not least, I'd also like to take this opportunity
to let you know that we are making changes in our membership system as
well. By the end of this year, we will have transitioned to a brand new
membership system. The new system will give us many tools through which
to serve you better in the future. Keep your eyes open for an updated
look and feel come November 2008.<o:p></o:p></p>
