Hi folks!  The RIC 2010 National Conferene will take place this year in Durham, North Carolina, July 21-25, 2010.  SEEDS will serve as local host.

Keep checking this page for updates, registration, and other information as we get closer to the date.

As the 2010 RIC National Conference approaches, our member groups begin to figure out how much money they need to attend.  Here is some information about logistics and costs.

The registration fee for the conference (last year it was $150 for youth and $200 for adults).  The registration fee covers lodging at the conference site, all meals, and field trip transportation.

Each local group raises funds to pay for transportation to the conference and any side trips that the group wants to take on its own, as well as personal expenses for group members.

Groups raise funds through local dinners, small grants, individual contributions.  If you have a particularly stellar fund-raising idea, please let us know!

The registration fees pay for about half of conference costs.  RIC as the national network raises the additional funds required for the conference as well as operating expenses for the organization.

If you have more questions, please let us know.
