Thanks to those of you who responded to my last email. I am developing a session for the ASTC 2005 (Richmond, VA) conference. The session will be about science centers/childrens museums/zoo and aquaria/nature centers partnering with government organizations - city, county, state, federal, military, NOAA, NASA, parks, refuges, departments of education, etc. We will discuss successful partnerships, how they were created, what paperwork and steps needed to be done, and so forth. 
 
I currently have 3 confirmed panelists and 1 tentative. However, I'd like to get 1 or 2 more confirmed speakers. If you have a government partnership in operation or in the works, will be going to the conference, and would like to participate, please let me know.
