WALK-UP REGISTRATION ENCOURAGED FOR BUILDING THE WYOMING WE WANT:
VALUES AND VISION CONFERENCE

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Those who are still interested in attending the Building the Wyoming We Want: Vision and Values Conference in Casper on Tuesday and Wednesday next week are encouraged to register at the door.

Starting at 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, walk-up registration will begin at the Gertrude Krampert Theatre at Casper College. The conference begins at 1:30 p.m. and runs to 5:30 p.m. that day. The next day’s session opens at 7:30 a.m. and concludes at 12:30 p.m.

Online registration for the event is not currently functioning, so the Governor encourages participants who have not yet registered to do so at the conference. Those with questions can email Wendy Curran at:
wcurra@state.wy.us, or Cara Eastwood at ceastw@state.wy.us.

The problems with online registrations may have led people to believe that the conference is not accepting additional registrations. In fact, registration is available and welcome.

The public is encouraged to attend and to share their thoughts about a recent statewide survey of Wyoming values and priority issues.
Conference participants will have the chance to give their views during an “instant feedback” interactive session following a presentation by Dee Allsop, a nationally recognized opinion researcher, who will discuss the survey in depth.

The conference agenda also includes a discussion about Envision Utah, a community visioning process that was initially discussed at the January
2008 conference. Alan Matheson, President of Envision Utah, will discuss the process that has been successful across that state in using shared values to guide future growth.

Two panels will help demonstrate some of the priority issues identified by the survey. One panel will discuss community projects that help guide growth, promote a sense of community and keep neighborhoods safe and secure. A second panel will focus on access to the great outdoors, agriculture and open spaces.
