The 2018 SBAR Retreat took place at the University of Arizona in Tucson. It was an exclusive opportunity for 85 SBAR partners, researchers, leaders, and others interested in building a sustainable bio-economy in the arid Southwest to meet in person. Progress reports for each research component were presented; future research strategies were determined; leaders and students were able to connect with others working on the SBAR project; participants gained insights and new ideas for continuing work; and everyone left inspired to take action that will lead to positive project outcomes.

Participants Learned – Were Inspired – Will Lead the Future
