Community Calendar

Blueprint is a complimentary program offered by the WT Enterprise Center in partnership with America’s SBDC at WTAMU. Blueprint utilizes a visual chart to provide the framework for an entrepreneur to understand how to create, evaluate, and refine their business model while focusing on their value proposition.

The program will be led by both WT Enterprise Center coaches and America’s SBDC at WTAMU consultants. This blend of coaches and consultants provides both the technical components in business creation while also focusing on the entrepreneur journey being embarked upon.

Timely information and innovative solutions for rehydrating our region’s semi-arid
landscapes is the focus of a “Conference on Community Water” to be held on
Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday, February 24 and 25 at the Hereford Civic
Center, located at 1001 W. 15th Street in Hereford, TX.

According to Dr. Darryl Birkenfeld, Ogallala Commons Director Emeritus, the
conference theme underscores a community focus since “we cannot meet these
daunting challenges simply by working individually but only through collective
efforts and shared strategies.”

“Our long-term survival depends on how well we keep water circulating in the
landscapes: finding ways to rehydrate our soils, our streambeds and grasslands,”
Birkenfeld notes. “This conference offers an in-depth look at an ambitious plan to
provide long-term water for human and natural communities, serving as a model
for restoring ecosystem functions so that the aquifer is recharged, landscapes are
rehydrated, and agricultural livelihoods remain viable.”

In addition to more than ten sessions featuring 17 speakers with a wide range of
views and expertise for building a community approach to water stewardship, on
Tuesday afternoon, February 24th, the conference kicks off with an afternoon
session featuring three Field Tours conducted in and around Hereford. These tours
will give attendees outdoor learning opportunities in a variety of settings. During
the conference, exhibit booths will be displaying information during break sessions.

Early registration is currently underway for the conference, priced at $50 for a single day and $60 for both days. While the single day price continues, on January 24th, the price of regular registration will increase to $75 for both days. Those interested can register online at: https://ogallalacommons.org/conference/, or registrants can make a check payable to Ogallala Commons and mail to: Ogallala
