The 3rd Annual NM Bioneers Satellite
Conference takes place this year October
19-21 at the College of Santa Fe. With
more than 600 attendees expected each day, this is
the largest conference in New Mexico
that addresses local environmental and
social justice issues. The conference
combines a live satellite downlink of
speeches by 15 nationally and internationally
renowned leaders from the
national Bioneers Conference in
California with more than 30 exciting
local workshops and demonstrations.
The conference organizer is the New
Mexico Bioneers Conference, a New
Mexico non-profit independent of, but working in
association with, the national Bioneers organization.
The conference is designed to bring together
NM citizens to inspire and educate them, and to
also create a place for New Mexico communities
and organizations to connect, collaborate, and create
cross-community support for the pressing issues
we face in the state.
The Bioneers, headquartered in Lamy, NM, is an
organization that promotes practical environmental
solutions and innovative social strategies for
restoring the Earth and communities, catalyzing
and connecting networks of restoration in the
areas of environment, health, social justice and
spirit. Bioneers plenary speakers offer solutions
and hope, demonstrating how one person can
make a difference. (To find out about the
Bioneers: www.bioneers.org.)
More than 30 local workshops
are planned during the conference.
This local programming
is generated through a series of
community outreach meetings
held throughout the state.
These public meetings are currently
being scheduled for July
in Albuquerque and Santa Fe,
as well as in Taos, Espanola,
Los Alamos, Las Cruces, and Farmington.
Please visit www.nmconference. org/bioneers for
details about the community outreach meetings.
The co-organizers, Amy Pilling and Richard
Kujawski, are also seeking many other types of
involvement, including sponsors, nonprofit
partners, and a variety of volunteers to help
with graphic design, website support, public
relations, and other services. Call 505-428-
1227 to discuss how you would like to be
involved in this year's exciting conference.
