The Connecticut Environmental Forum (CEF) is an organization which provides a forum for environmental professionals to share and exchange information and experiences on environmental matters and to learn about the latest issues regarding environmental regulations. Members of the forum meet monthly to discuss upcoming changes in laws and regulations and the impacts on our community. Expert presentations and panel discussions allow all members to gather information and stay current with environmental compliance issues.

MEETING INFORMATION AND SCHEDULE

CEF typically meets the first Wednesday of every month (see below for specific dates and location) from 8:30 am to 10:30 am. Monthly meetings always include: updates on environmental legislative and regulatory proposals happening in Connecticut as well as in Washington, D.C.; recent environmental legal decisions; and other relevant environmental initiatives. In addition, a different guest speaker each month provides an update and review of a new environmental rule, law, or industry practice.

Meeting Dates (usually the first Wednesday of each month except for July and August)
All meetings will be held at the Keeney Memorial Cultual Center (unless otherwise noted below). For directions,
