	Post Meeting Activities

Question 1: Would you attend another joint meeting in the next 4 years with either the American Society for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) or the Society for Wetland Science?

Yes – for 1 joint meeting with ASLO
Yes – for 1 joint meeting with SWS
Yes – for 2 joint meetings
No – would prefer to keep our annual meetings exclusive to NABS through at least 2014

Question 2. If you answered NO to the question above, which of the following circumstances might change your mind? Check all that are appropriate.

Venue would allow all concurrent sessions to be held in the same building.:
Main hotels would provide reasonable room rates and be able to house most attendees.:
Evening activities would be held in one location common to both societies.:
None of the above would change my mind on having a joint meeting more frequently than every 5 years.:
