Programs and Events


AEP supports environmental professionals by providing a vast array of programs and events. The Superior California Chapter is seeking speakers for CEQA Workshops, luncheons, and evening presentations. If you are interested in speaking at a CEQA Workshop, please contact Christy Ryan. If you are interested in speaking at a luncheon or evening AEP meeting, please send information on the topic and your contact info to Janet Dallas, Peter Masson or Alexandra Kleyman.

General Chapter Meetings

The Superior California Chapter is pleased to invite members and non-members to our monthly programs. They will occur on the last Wednesday of every month from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, but allowing for some flexibility for our speakers, at a location to be announced. For upcoming programs, as well as past program presentations and handouts, please visit our Calendar page.

The AEP Board needs your help planning activities for 2010. We want to broaden our horizons and expand our boundaries, so if you have an idea for a group activity you would like us to consider, please email Janet Dallas, Peter Masson or Alexandra Kleyman or call (916) 366-1701 with your suggestions.

Chapter Outings

In 2010, the AEP Superior California Chapter is partnering with Green Drinks to continue our Monthly Stress Mitigation tradition. "Green Drinks maintains a casual atmosphere to hang with people that share interests and passions for the environment, sustainability, and all things green." Green Drinks meets the first Thursday of every month, from 6:00 – 8:00, in different locations in the Sacramento area. Many of you have been regularly attending our Monthly Stress Mitigation and we’ve found a great partner in the Green Drinks folks; therefore, we will continue to mingle with them the First Thursdays of the month from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, usually at Brew It Up! at 14th & H Streets. We’ll keep you posted on the venue each month. Flyer...

In 2010, the Superior California Chapter of AEP will also keep offering field trips and site visits for our members and their guests. Mixers and lunchtime presentations are a great way to meet other environmental and planning professionals and keep abreast of current issues. They are a cornerstone of AEP. But mixers and lunches are indoor activities, and we are environmental professionals. Our hearts are in the outdoors. So we will hold field trips, site visits, and mobile workshops. We hope these trips will provide quality educational and bonding experiences for our members. We are considering environmental education activities, mobile workshops to actual project sites to learn about case studies, and fun trips like vernal pool tours, wildflower walks, and hikes to unique places. Perhaps you have a project you are particularly proud of and would like to share some lessons learned. Maybe you know of a special outdoor natural history location you’d love to share with your fellow AEP members. If so… please contact Janet Dallas, Peter Masson or Alexandra Kleyman with your ideas.
