NOTE:  We encourage everyone to participate for as long as they can and
to register for the conference, but if you can't come for the entire
conference, you may come and participate in the P2 track sessions
separately.  The organizers of the conference have asked though, that if
someone plans to participate in any of the breaks or lunches, that they
plan to register for the conference and pay the fee.  There are a lot of
factors that go into what constitutes the final registration cost with
the hotel, but all costs have been kept to a minimum as much as
possible.     

Please let me know if you have any questions. 
Thanks,

Invitation Memo: 

    It is our pleasure to invite you to the 2001 Region 4 Environmental
Conference, June 26-28, 2001 to be held at the Westin Peachtree Plaza,
210
Peachtree Street, NW, Atlanta, Georgia.   This is the premier
environmental
conference http://aec.army.mil/prod/region4/index.html
<http://aec.army.mil/prod/region4/index.html>  that brings together DoD,
EPA
and State environmental officials and MACOM/Installation level managers
and
staff to discuss environmental challenges and opportunities.  

The theme for this year's conference is "Sustainable Installations +
Military Readiness = Investment in Our Nation's Future."  We anticipate
about 300-350 people attending this year's conference and believe that
our
agenda is the strongest to date.  

    The program is focused on specific actions that will help
installations/managers/ regulators become more effective in developing
and
implementing "sustainable installation principles" for long-term
investment.
A lot of work is being devoted to making sure that you are given the
best
and most current information to support your needs.  We have structured
this
year's program around Plenary sessions specifically designed to give a
top-down perspective while establishing TRACKS that will allow you to
follow
a central theme to a reasonable degree of depth.  

The primary tracks are the Sustainable Installations - Future
Investments;
Munitions and Range Operations; Stakeholder Involvement and Community
Outreach and the standard pillars of Compliance, Conservation, Pollution
Prevention (see website agenda or info below on P2 section) and
Cleanup/Innovative Technologies.  

    As key environmental managers and leaders, your presence at this
conference is an important investment in establishing sustainable
installations, maintaining military readiness and strengthening our
environmental stewardship.  We hope you will join us.

Sincerely,
