Spending a week with your adaptation peers is both a necessity and a luxury. The field of adaptation has been steadily growing to help society address the challenges of climate change. This growth was due to work by each of you to explore, learn, innovate and share your concerns, expertise and ideas. You represent activities happening at all scales across the country and even around the world. While politics may cause the course of adaptation to change, the need will not diminish. I look forward to working with all of you over the next three days, and for years to come, as we continue to do the work that is needed to support resilient ecosystems and durable communities. While you are here at the Forum please take the time to: • Make new connections beyond your usual cohort and outside your professional sector, • Soak in the rich program created by your peers, • Consider an aspect of adaptation that you did not think applied to you and develop a way to make it part of your work from here forward, and • Appreciate that you are part of a broad coalition that we all need to connect with in order to achieve enduring solutions so everyone benefits. Huge thanks to the many fabulous committee members (see next page), sponsors, and partners who make the Forum happen. The Forum really is a community event and it would not happen were it not for the commitments and contributions of everyone in attendance and behind the scenes. Make the most of the week in Saint Paul and keep up the good work when you get back home! Lara J. Hansen, Ph.D. Steering and Program Committees Chief Scientist and Executive Director, EcoAdapt STEERING AND PROGRAM COMMITTEES The Steering and Program Committees have toiled diligently over the past 18 months to create a rich opportunity for each of us to meet and interact with colleagues from around the country…some you may have never met before! We want to thank the committees for their contribution and dedication to the Forum. The hours they spent volunteering ensured that funding was secured, proposals were reviewed, the venue was suitable, and travel support was awarded fairly and effectively. Committee members also participated in an Equity Working Group and led the effort to create each of the plenaries. The contribution of committee members was even greater for the 2017 Forum owing to the unprecedented submission of over 400 proposals requiring hundreds of hours of review. Their input created 5 plenaries, 88 symposia, 13 training sessions, 15 working groups, 121 posters and 20 tools presentations that you will have the opportunity to experience over the next three days. If you see a committee member, please give them your thanks. 1 STEERING AND PROGRAM COMMITTEE STEERING COMMITTEE Carlos Martin, Urban Institute PROGRAM COMMITTEE Kimberly Hall, The Nature Lara Hansen, EcoAdapt, SC Chair (BP, EWG) Alex Score, EcoAdapt, Conservancy (NRP, PC, SC) (PC, HP Chair, EWG, PWG) Kris May, Silvestrum Climate (PC Chair, CP, NRP, EWG, PWG) Lara Hansen, EcoAdapt Denise Fairchild, Emerald Cities Associates (MP, NRP, HP) Chris Hilke, National Wildlife (SC Co- Chair, PC, HP Co-Chair, Collaborative (SC Co-Chair, CP Michael McCormick, California Federation (PC Co-Chair) EWG, PWG) Co-Chair) Governors Office of Planning Sascha Peterson, Adaptation Jessica Hellmann, University Garrett Fitzgerald, Urban and Research International (PC Co-Chair, MP, of Minnesota Institute on the Sustainability Directors Network Shannon McNeeley, Colorado PWG) Environment (SC, PC, CP, BP (SC Co-Chair, PC, MP Co-Chair, State University (NRP, EWG) Susan Asam, ICF International Co-Chair, EWG Co-Chair) EWG, PWG) Miriam Morrill, Bureau of Land Kristin Baja, Baltimore City Jessica Hitt, EcoAdapt (EWG) Paul Moss, Minnesota Pollution Management, NRP, HP Department of Planning, Office Margaret Hiza Redsteer, U.S. Control Agency (SC Co-Chair, Rachael Novak, Bureau of Indian of Sustainability Geological Survey (NRP, EWG) NRP, HP) Affairs (PC, SC) Astrid Caldas, Union of Concerned Darren Long, Wildlife Conservation Christina Becker-Birck, Meister Amber Pairis, California Landscape Scientists (EWG) Society Consultants Group Conservation Cooperative (SC, PC, Molly Cross, Wildlife Conservation Nile Malloy, Climate Justice David Behar, San Francisco Public NRP Co-Chair, HP) Society Consultant (PC, SC, CP, EWG Utilities Commission (MP) Kim Penn, National Oceanic Samantha Danchuk, Broward Co-Chair, PWG) Margaret Davidson, National and Atmospheric Administration County’s Environmental Planning Laura Millberg, Minnesota Pollution Oceanic and Atmospheric (PC, SC, BP) and Community Resilience Division Control Agency Administration Rachel Steele, U.S. Department Christa Daniels, Center for Paul Moss, Minnesota Pollution Aimee Delach, Defenders of Wildlife of Agriculture Climate Hubs Community Resilience and Climate Control Agency (SC Co-Chair, PC, (NRP, HP, PWG) Laurie Schoeman, Enterprise Preparedness; Antioch University NRP, HP) Barney Dickson, United Nations Community Partners, Inc.
