The Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop, held April 14-15 in Highsmith Union, brings together a diverse group of federal, academic, students, and broadcast media to share research, operations, and communication of weather, water, and climate events. The workshop will cover a broad range of topics concerning weather, water and climate, with oral and poster presentations throughout the event.
The development of the Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop is a collaborative effort between the various Universities and NOAA/NWS offices of the Southern Appalachian region. Please refer to the Planning Committee menu page for more information.
The conference goals are:
- Promoting interactions and effective communication between research and operations
- Promoting student interactions with the weather enterprise

- Assessing observed or potential weather, water, and climate impacts.
- Identifying gaps in research, operations, or communications of weather hazard and safety information.
- Developing effective partnerships between the Operational and Research community.

Virginia Hamilton
Virginia is our Farm Director here at the home of the brand in Fairview. She received her BS in Environmental Studies from Warren Wilson College and her MS in Land Resources & Environmental Science from Montana State University. Prior to completing her MS, she was the assistant farm manager at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, NC for five years.

About the Savory Institute
The Savory Institute’s mission is to facilitate the large-scale regeneration of the world’s grasslands and the livelihoods of their inhabitants great and small, through holistic land management. Savory Institute is working in collaboration with research institutions and partners, to measure the outcomes of managing holistically, by monitoring the health of ecosystem processes, levels of permanent soil carbon, quality of life of the people, as well as financial vitality. Hickory Nut Gap is a verified Savory Hub as of 2021- to equip our partner farmers, local farmers, ranchers, and pastoralist communities with the tools and knowledge to regenerate grasslands in a localized context.

About the Environmental Quality Institute
The Environmental Quality Institute is a nonprofit laboratory that operates chemical and biological stream monitoring programs in western North Carolina. EQI coordinates sampling and data analysis for our 2 programs – VWIN (Volunteer Water Info. Network – chemical monitoring) and SMIE (Stream Monitoring Information Exchange – aquatic insects). VWIN has operated since 1990 and provides monthly chemical monitoring at more than 160 stream, river, and lake sites. The VWIN program is extremely cost-effective and reliable because trained community volunteers collect the samples, while analyses are performed at our nonprofit, state-certified lab. SMIE has operated since 2005 and is a collaboration of several western NC non-profit, educational institutions, and local, state, and federal agencies. The SMIE volunteer biological monitoring program focuses on aquatic invertebrates to help determine stream health for over 50 streams in WNC. To learn more about the EQI, click here.

It’s time to act like REVOLTIN’ CHILDREN!
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers.

When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.
The Little Mermaid Workshop
July 10-14 & August 7-11
Discover what it means to be PART OF YOUR WORLD!
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.

The summer workshop series at The Village Potters Clay Center continues with a hands-on, week-long workshop with Sarah Wells Rolland focusing on “The Teapot”.
The workshop will take place April 17-21, 2023 in the Hands-On Workshop space at The Village Potters Clay Center in Asheville’s historic River Arts District. Daily workshop hours will run from 9am-3pm, and students will have access to work in studio until 6pm each day.
This workshop will explore all elements of the teapot, including multiple forms, pouring spouts, lids, and approaches to handles. The teapot is every functional potters’ glorious pursuit, and Sarah Wells Rolland loves to explore the unique challenges that come with the making of teapots. The lively, week-long workshop includes demonstrations, slide presentations, “what if” critiques, interactive discussion, sharing with each other, and concentrated time at the wheel. An intermediate skill set is highly recommended. Seasoned beginners who can center, open, and control clay when making walls are also ready for this class and all involved will find all skills taken to another level! Please contact The Village Potters Clay Center if you have any questions about this workshop.
The Village Potters are Sarah Wells Rolland, Judi Harwood, Lori Theriault, Julia Mann, Katie Meili Messersmith, Ruth Fischer Rutkowsky, and Caroline Renee Woolard, along with Director of Operations, Lindsey Mudge. They comprise an intentional Collective of potters who share a commitment to nurture creative exploration through education, experience, and community. The Village Potters includes a fine craft gallery, a Teaching Center offering ongoing classes in wheel, hand building, and sculpture for adults, an Advanced Ceramic Studies Program, a Hands-On Workshop Studio, and online demonstrations and workshops. The Village Potters Clay Center is an educational member of The Craft Guild of the Southern Highlands, and is an official distributor for Laguna Clays.

No cost due to sponsor support
Digital Marketing is critical in today’s world, but all the moving parts can be overwhelming. Small businesses struggle to stay caught up with trends, manage their followers and email lists, engage with relevant content, and track all the data to inform future marketing decisions. Automation is the key to doing MORE with LESS effort. – Do your subscribers automatically receive a steady stream of warm touch emails that build rapport and teach them what your brand is all about? – Does everyone on your list get all the same emails, regardless of status? – Do you know who is engaging you on social media the most, so you can classify them as a prospect? – Does your marketing system keep track of your website visitors, social media followers, and who is engaging so that you know who are potential leads? – Is data from your marketing platforms synchronizing itself automatically, or are you constantly managing spreadsheets, lists, downloading and uploading info, wearing yourself out? In this two part series, we will review in detail how automation can make a massive difference in your business strategy, growth, and peace of mind! In Part 2 we will dive even deeper, examining actual software and platforms that provide these solutions to make your digital marketing and business management much easier. Both sessions to include live interactive Q&A, so bring your questions and requests!
Speaker(s): Aaron Wesley Means
Co-Sponsor(s): Henderson County Chamber of Commerce and Brevard/Transylvania Chamber of Commerce
