Take a look back at a year that saw us continue to exemplify a spirit of resilience and connection. We hosted our 67th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research and broadened participation from Indigenous knowledge holders, saw an increasing percentage of membership from countries in Africa, welcomed a new lead editor and experienced ongoing growth of the Journal of Great Lakes Research, continued to highlight the relevance of Great Lakes science through our Lakes Letter magazine, honored excellence in freshwater science through awards and scholarships, and partnered with other organizations to increase our impact.
"Navigating Renewal: Charting Our Recovery" was the theme for 2023, a year that saw us host our first in-person conference in four years, continue our journey toward becoming a more inclusive organization, launch our new member portal, and share trusted information to support decision making about the world's large lake ecosystems.
The theme for 2022 was "A Year of Resilience and Transformation." Enjoy this look back to a year that saw IAGLR create and fill the new position of executive director, develop a new funding strategy, move forward with plans to host an in-person 2023 conference despite lingering pandemic challenges, and broaden its relevance to a larger audience.
