SMA Conference 2020

Society of Municipal Arborists 56^th Annual International Urban Forestry Conference
Thursday, November 19, 2020
From the Comfort of Your Home or Office

The Society of Municipal Arborists (SMA) will hold its 56th Annual International Urban Forestry Conference on November 19, 2020 as a virtual webinar.

The Society of Municipal Arborists (SMA) seeks proposals to advance the discussion and practice of implementing and advancing Tree Equity in municipal forestry programs. Accepted presentations will be delivered via webinar at SMA’s 56th Annual International Urban Forestry Conference on Thursday, Nov 19, 2020.

Tree Equity recognizes that trees are vital to the health and wealth of cities and that too often low-income neighborhoods and some neighborhoods of color have low tree canopy cover. SMA also seeks proposals that demonstrate inclusive programming in action in outreach and master planning, hiring, encouraging minority-owned tree care enterprises and workforce development.

Lead a SMA Town Hall or City Meeting

SMA has launched a series of free virtual meetings as a way for our members to remain connected and to address current issues of importance. The purpose of these meetings will be to connect our members virtually, to give them an opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas around a series of current topics. There will be a thought leader for each meeting who will moderate the conversation. There will be no presentation, rather the moderator will ask thought provoking questions and encourage discussion among the participants. The meetings will last 30 minutes.
