[Communications] Recruitment of research about conferences and sponsors

[Lillian Jacqueline Herling]

Dear Amy Olson,


I am writing to let you know about an opportunity to participate in a voluntary research study about conferences and sponsors in the food, forest, energy, water, and ecosystems fields. This National Science Foundation-funded study is being conducted by Dr. Adena Rissman's lab<https://rissman.russell.wisc.edu/> at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are hoping to talk with people involved with food, forest, energy, water, and ecosystems conferences in the Upper Midwest.

We know your organization has held the Chicago Community Garden Annual Gardeners Conference in 2021. It sounds like an exciting event! We would love to learn more about it. Participation includes an approximately one-hour audio-recorded interview online by Zoom. The interview questions include conference goals, sponsorships, topics, attendees, and barriers.


Thank you SO MUCH for your consideration! If you would like to participate in the interview, please reply to this email. If you are interested in learning more about this Institutional Review Board-approved project, please contact Yu Lu (Ph.D. student) at yu.lu at wisc.edu or Adena Rissman (Principal Investigator) at adena.rissman at wisc.edu.


We will attempt to contact you three times. If you’d like to opt out of further contact, let us know by replying to the email and tell us in the subject line “opt out of further contact”.
