Overall Outcomes from this Conference Excellent feedbacks from students and Richmond School District Richmond Community Foundation and Richmond School District have already asked us to host this event again next year We felt that attendees were able to gain an awareness within the entire community with regards to not only the issues surrounding environmental stability, but also to pro-active actions available to the public which can help achieve this stability.
