TUgis 2012 will once again be a "green conference." The conference will follow recommendations included in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Guide to Planning and Conducting Environmentally Aware Meetings and Events. In addition to increased recycling efforts, we will purchase a "carbon offset" for TUgis 2012 from Carbonfund.org.

I look forward to seeing you at TUgis in March!
Sincerely,
