Missing file.

Join us 27-29 July 2020 for a program of notable speakers, student research highlights, audience Q&A, component team virtual working group discussions, and much more. The original meeting agenda has been modified for the virtual environment with 2-2.5-hour blocks scheduled over 3 days, including a virtual happy hour.

The SBAR Virtual Retreat is an exclusive opportunity for SBAR partners, researchers, leaders, and others interested in supporting a sustainable bioeconomy in the arid Southwest with the production of guayule and guar crops. This will also be a window for viewing how novel and innovative science is interpreted for professional educators and youth.

Log On – Engage in Dialogue – Learn – Be Inspired – Lead the Future
