Summit I was held on Dec. 3, 2004, in Chicago with conveners representing the federal government and Great Lakes states, cities, tribes and public interest groups as well as the region's congressional delegation.
Representatives from the Collaboration will speak and then sign a resolution. A press conference will follow.
When: Monday. Summit II is from 1- 2:30 p.m. Press conference begins at 2:30 p.m.
Where: John G. Shedd Aquarium, Phelps Auditorium, 1200 S. Lake Shore Drive.
Check-in: Media representatives should enter through the south entrance. TV crews may park at the "bus turnaround" outside that entrance.
