Picture
CTLCV's 2010 Environmental Summit was held on December 8, 2010 at the Jaycees Riverfront Boathouse in Hartford.  This annual conference is sponsored by the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters Education Fund.

For the past 11 years, the Environmental Summit has provided a unique opportunity for environmental leaders and elected officials to share information and discuss legislative priorities before the start of the legislative session through informal networking and panel discussions.  The Summit is a unique opportunity to build on successful collaborative efforts from the past and find new ways to support one another's efforts in the future.

We were delighted to have then Governor-elect Dan Malloy make an unannounced visit.
