Professional development and continuing education are important to Synergy. We attend numerous professional events throughout the year to ensure our clients are have access to the most recent advances and information in our field.

Additionally, Synergy's staff actively participates in meetings ranging from State and local cattlemen meetings to the International Society for Range Management meeting. As a result, we often have information on general topics, such as monitoring methods or the Endangered Species Act Section 7 Consultation process, that we can make available to the public.

Following are posters that describe Synergy's presentations at the 2004 ISRM meeting:
