The Adirondack Landowners Association is pleased to announce that their Annual Spring Membership Meeting will be held at the scenic Minnowbrook Conference Center in Blue Mt. Lake, NY….May 11-12, 2012. This meeting is always an informative and interesting event. This year’s meeting will focus on the private stewardship contributions of ALA members to the Adirondacks and beyond. NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli will be our special guest for this event.

New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli

The Comptroller’s office has been very supportive of ALA efforts to help with education and prevention of invasive species in the Park and throughout NYS. We are delighted that the Comptroller has decided to join us…it should make this meeting a very special event for everyone.

Additionally, our stewardship agenda will be highlighted by a presentation from Dan Josephson and Cliff Kraft from Cornell University. Cornell has a long standing tradition of working with ALA members and other private landowners in the Adirondacks in the areas of fisheries research and wildlife management. They will be joined by several other ALA members who will offer insights into their stewardship programs.

There will be a Friday nite social & cocktail hour followed by dinner. This is a great time for members to reconnect after the winter and get ready for the spring and summer season. The membership meeting starts promptly at 9am on Saturday May 12…lunch will follow the conclusion of the meeting.

We will also have a number of invited guests from the Adirondack community including state and local elected political leaders and key representatives from various organizations. Please check back on the website for updates in the weeks ahead…information will also be sent to all ALA members as it is available.
