Dear 10^th INTECOL International Wetlands Conference Attendee,

The 10^th INTECOL International Wetlands Conference was a huge success, and the Society of Wetland Scientists is very pleased to be participating in such an outstanding gathering of the international community of wetland scientists.  Many thanks to the INTECOL Organizing Committee, the People’s Government of Changshu, the State Forestry Administration, the Nanjing University Ecological Research Institute of Changshu, the China Compliance Office of International Wetland Convention, the Ecological Society of China, the China Wetlands Association, and Wetlands International for bringing such a large and successful meeting to fruition.

In the interest of continuing to foster the development of the international wetland community, we would like to extend a personal invitation to you to join the Society of Wetland Scientists.  With this membership ($25 USD for students and developing countries), you will maintain a connection to wetland scientists from around the world, as our members come from 58 countries. We offer a limited number of free memberships to wetland scientists from developing countries, including China, India, and many other Asian nations.  You will receive newsletters, access to the “Wetlands” journal and “Wetland Science and Practice”, invitations to join our monthly webinar series (free to members), free access to our online webinar library, membership in your local chapter, special opportunities for students, and discounts for attending the international Annual Meeting.  Our next Annual Meeting will be held from June 3^rd through June 8^th, in Puerto Rico, a particularly ecologically diverse location.  To learn more about this exciting meeting, please visit our website.  There is still time to submit a symposium proposal before the October 15^th deadline.
