As part of the “Margaret A. Davidson Coastal Career Development Program,” The Coastal Society (TCS) is proud to honor Margaret’s legacy with this full-day workshop designed to provide valuable skills and information to the next generation of coastal practitioners, students and early- to mid-career coastal professionals. TCS and Atlantic Estuarine Research Society (AERS) will host the workshop at George Mason University’s brand-new Potomac Science Center in Woodbridge, VA on Thursday, April 4, 2019 as part of the AERS Spring Meeting.
The full-day event will feature a morning of keynote talks on career options, employment prospects, successful pathways toward local opportunities and opportunities around the nation, as well as inspirational testimonies from coastal professionals. The afternoon will offer a series of smaller group discussions about various skills needed to succeed, such as leadership, networking, mentors, publishing, resumes, and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with speakers and potential mentors. Students and young professionals in the coastal and environmental field are encouraged to attend.
