The brand new Diverse Environmental Leaders National Speakers Bureau is launching in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club on Monday, August 25th. DEL is the brainchild of Audrey Peterman, longtime board member of the National Parks Conservation Association and author of Legacy on the Land and Our True Nature, http://www.legacyontheland.com.

We just got back from a 4 day retreat and group training, courtesy of the National Park Service, in the Grand Canyon.

Here is the media advisory. Great Plains Restoration Council is part of the Speakers Bureau.

Everybody on the Speakers Bureau loves and takes care of the Earth passionately beyond words, and we look forward to working with partners all across the country.

Have a great weekend, and we�ll report back after the Launch!

Thank you as always for your support.
