ACF Calls For Papers For Sustainability Summit

The Alabama Coastal Foundation (ACF) is calling for papers for presentation at its 11th Annual Sustainability Summit, taking place on January 31, 2025, at 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at The Lodge at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores. The nonprofit’s yearly professional development event is intended to encourage people in the private, public and social sectors to understand the economic and environmental benefits of using sustainable practices. Presentations should support this year’s theme of “Future Signposts: Learning How to Improve, Protect, and Celebrate Our Environment.” They should include one to three actionable items that exhibit planning strategies across communities; businesses; educational institutions; or any other groups across public, private or local sectors. Preference will be given to presentations that feature local or regional initiatives, research and projects. The submission deadline is October 10 at midnight, and acceptance decision notifications will be sent on October 18.
