in Columbus, Ohio, on August 6<sup>th</sup>, and we have an upcoming presentation at the International Urban Forestry Congress in Vancouver, BC, on October 1<sup>st</sup> (<a href="http://iufcvancouver2018.com/Default.aspx?MenuID=6759" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://iufcvancouver2018.com/Default.aspx?MenuID=6759</a>).
This presentation will follow with a panel discussion on issues addressing women’s experiences in our industries and sharing
