EVENTS
Registration is now open for the WLEB Partnership August 12, 2026 Summer Meeting.
This will be a special meeting, as we will not only hold our normal business meeting, but also Commemorate the Twentieth Anniversary of the formation of the Western Lake Erie Basin Partnership!
Come join us as we look back at the history where we started, our accomplishments over the years, and our plans for our future. Please use the link below to register for the event. In addition, we will be collecting testimonials to read and display at the meeting. More information and a link to submit a testimonial is below, after the meeting registration link. We would enjoy hearing from you, even if you are unable to attend the meeting.
The meeting will be held on August 12th, 2026 at the Glass City Pavilion, Toledo Metro Parks, 1001 Riverside Dr, Toledo, OH 43605. Coffee and check-in will be at 8:30 AM and the meeting will begin at 9 AM; you can view the full meeting agenda here. There is no cost to attend, but pre-registration is required. Lunch will be provided.
The meeting is open to the public and media, but due to space availability, priority will be given to WLEB Partnership members.
We will adjourn the meeting at 2:30 PM, to allow time for the Sandpiper Boat Tour on the Maumee River (optional at registration) to view restoration work at the Clark and Delaware Islands. The boat tour will leave the International Park Docks at 3 PM and return by 5 PM. (The dock is a 5-minute drive from the meeting site.) This tour is optional depending on your time and availability. Again, there is no cost to attend the tour, but pre-registration is required to reserve a seat on the boat. If you or a member of your party plan to travel with a mobility aid or require specific accommodations, it is highly recommended that you contact J&M Cruise Lines directly at (419) 537-1212 to ensure the cruise fits your needs.
If you have any additional questions about the event, please contact Kristen Fussell (fussell.10@osu.edu) and/or Steve Davis (steve.davis@usda.gov).
In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the WLEB Partnership, we would like to collect testimonials to share at the meeting. You can submit your thoughts by using the link below, or by emailing responses to Kristen Fussell at (fussell.10@osu.edu).
The two prompts are:
• What do you think are the biggest success stories resulting from the WLEB Partnership?
• How does the WLEB Partnership benefit you?
