Yachats 2005: E-LAW Annual International Meeting

E-LAW advocate Carla Zendejas is based in Tijuana, Mexico. Carla works with U.S. and Mexican non-governmental organizations on cross border issues such as water monitoring, sustainable power plants, and law reform. Carla will be a keynote speaker at this year`s Public Interest Environmental Law Conference.

Pioneering grassroots advocates from roughly 25 countries are coming to Oregon in February to participate in the 2005 E-LAW Annual International Meeting. This inspired gathering will take place in the seaside town of Yachats, February 27–March 3.

Meeting participants will share legal and scientific resources with their colleagues from around the world and gain skills they need to build a sustainable future, including how to use electronic communication tools and build strong organizations.

E-LAW`s annual meeting will be immediately followed by the 23rd annual Public Interest Environmental Law Conference (PIELC) at the University of Oregon School of Law (March 3 - 6).

The PIELC will bring together roughly 4,000 attorneys, students, scientists, and citizens from around the globe. Dozens of E-LAW advocates will participate in panel discussions at the PIELC. (For more information, see: http://www.pielc.org.)

Holding the E-LAW Meeting in conjunction with the PIELC creates an exceptional opportunity for people in the U.S. to learn from leading environmental advocates around the world.
