Upcoming Event: En-ROADS breakout at Citizens Climate Lobby North East Regional Conference.
On March 7th in Troy, NY I'll be running the En-ROADS workshop as part of the CCL regional conference in our breakouts. The conference runs March 6 - 8.

I'm in State College, PA. I have not run any En-ROADS workshops yet but I have given some public talks about climate change. I had been looking for something more interactive for my talks and am hoping En-ROADS can help. I have found showing local examples of climate change in my talks is helpful, so I have some slides on Pennsylvania and the Northeast US. Here is one recent talk that I gave to a local discussions group. Feel free to use any of this material in your outreach.
Looking for a facilitator in the DC area--Montgomery County, MD--to give a demo to a county councilmember.
I'll be in the DC area during the week of March 23 and could perhaps fit this in.
Even though En-ROADS is a global model, I find that it's always good to share information about local impacts when giving any presentation about climate change. A good place to start for the Northeast US is the National Climate Assessment, which is broken down by regions. Here is the Northeast chapter of the report:
Thanks! Unfortunately I just found out we're scheduled for the 17th.
Climate Summit Game - see registration links below.

Hello! May you be well. I will start my facilitator training in August after completing two courses in which I currently am enrolled. However, I am looking for a facilitator to conduct a remote live training in the use of the Climate Action Simulation Game, En-Roads and C-Roads. The workshop is slated for Thursday, August 12th, with 9 a.m. , 9:15 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. as a start time.
The training is for a group of 12 faculty who are receiving professional development so that they might turnkey what they have learned with their students who will be participating in a global solutions sustainability project.
The faculty will facilitate the students' progress on the project.
Would anyone on this forum be able to assist me in this endeavour?
If so, please contact me at cromain@bmcc.cuny.edu and place
C-Roads in the Subject Line so that I know the communication's provenance.
I thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Carline Romain

Carline,
I would be glad to help out! I am an En-ROADS ambassador, a retired HS STEM teacher and I have facilitated the events you describe in your post. I have also facilitated professional development training for teachers here in NJ. And I am free on 8/12.
You can find out more about me on my website, https://www.sgoldeneducation.com. You can contact me there or email me directly if you'd like to work together. I'd be glad to send you my resume and/or discuss the details.
Stay well,
Susan

I'm going to start a broader North East topic to be a little more fuzzy in where the boundry is. I'm in Poughkeepsie NY.
