LEO Network

ANTHC LEO Webinars

A Gathering of LEO Network Members

The ANTHC Hub host a monthly webinar and teleconference for participants in Alaska. The venue includes a review and discussion about recent observations as well as presentations by experts on hot topics. The goal is to raise awareness about emerging issues, to create an open dialogue between the members and administrators of the ANTHC hub, and to provide education on how to make observations better. If you have a topic of interest, and would like to present to the LEO Network, you can fill-out the, REQUEST TO PRESENT FOR THE LEO NETWORK WEBINAR - ANTHC form and forward it on to myself, Moses T., Michael Brubaker or Erica Lujan (ANTHC LEO Team). Thank you.
