The Massachusetts Society of Municipal Conservation Professionals� Annual Meeting
The Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS) established its Professional Certification Program (PCP) in the early 1990s. Currently the only international wetland certification program of its kind, the Program certifies Professional Wetland Scientists (PWS). It has been a very successful initiative that supports thousands of wetland professionals who make tremendous contributions to wetland research, restoration, protection, education and innovative solutions to mitigate climate change. To ensure the quality and integrity of the program are not compromised, the application process remains robust yet accessible to a diversity of wetland professionals. This Workshop will cover the PCP Certification and application process and tutorials to interact with seasoned PWSs. It is a fantastic opportunity to sit down in a small group and tease out small but important challenges to becoming certified under the PCP. More Info
