Please join Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) at a "Homegrown" Listening Session in promotion of President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative (AGO). AGO began in April when President Obama requested a group of federal agencies to gather public input and start a national conversation about how to reconnect Americans to the outdoors and establish best-practices conservation for the 21st century. OIA has worked hard to augment AGO by creating a number of "Homegrown" Listening Sessions that will kick off with the Boulder event on July 30th at CU from 3:00 - 6:00pm at the Leeds School of Business. For questions and to RSVP (MANDATORY), please email

ago@outdoorindustry.org. For more information on AGO, please visit the OIA and DOI websites, and be sure to visit the AGO Facebook page.
