Hi all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please read this entire message, as it contains important information on how to register for the ESA & ESIP meetings.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Following up on my previous email (included below) and the announcements I made during today’s meeting (recording will soon be available in the Google Drive), I’ve included the link (at the bottom of this message) to fill out the information needed
by LNO in order to process everyone’s registration fees to both the ESA and ESIP meetings. As I mentioned on the call, LNO will be handling registrations for one IM representative from each site to each meeting. This means no paying out of pocket and no reimbursements! </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">IM Exec strongly encourages participation from all LTER sites in both meetings!</b> If you are the IM rep and can’t attend one or both meetings this year, please consider finding another interested party at your site who can represent
the LTER IMC. ESIP is especially thrilled to hear we will be able to participate and encourages submissions to the virtual poster/demo showcase (you can indicate this during registration). Be creative. For example, this person could be someone from your IM
team, a student, or an aspiring early-career researcher with strong data skills and interests. This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to attend and participate in two great meetings!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For ESA, all that is needed is the participant’s name, contact info, and ESA membership status. For ESIP, we ask you to list the participant’s name and indicate when they have filled out their registration form. From ESIP:
<i class="">Each participant should register at <a href="http://www.cvent.com/d/2nqw4m/4W" target="_blank" class="">http://www.cvent.com/d/2nqw4m/4W</a> by 7/1 if possible. When registering, please have each select Registration Type "Partner Rate" and then
enter the discount code LTER (all caps) at the final payment step just before submitting the registration form. This will allow them to register without paying and it will help us keep track in our system of how much to invoice. You can also let folks know
if you haven't already that more info about the meeting, including the agenda, can be found at <a href="https://2020esipsummermeeting.sched.com/" target="_blank" class="">https://2020esipsummermeeting.sched.com/</a>.</i></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We will soon begin a second spreadsheet containing sessions of particular interest to the LTER IMC. </div>

annual IMC meeting was scheduled for Sunday, August 2, 2020, preceding the Ecological Society of America’s (ESA) annual meeting. As you may be aware, ESA has decided that the 2020 meeting will now be fully virtual due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result, IM Exec has decided not to host our annual IMC meeting in conjunction with ESA. Instead, we will host a mini meeting of the IMC during our regularly scheduled August water cooler (10 August 2020 at 3p ET / 12p PT) where we will address business
items, including elections, that would have typically been considered during our annual meeting.

cover the registration fees for the ESIP Summer Meeting, which will also be held virtually. We strongly encourage IMs to attend and participate in both the ESA and ESIP meetings. LNO will cover registration (but not ESA membership) fees for one IMC representative
from each LTER site to attend one or both meetings. LNO will soon be providing specific details on how to register for each meeting.</span></div>
