On May 2-3 NeFSMA will having a tour of Kingsley Dam, followed by speakers regarding issues related to the dam, dam safety, endangered species, the Platte River Basin, and more.
The NeFSMA professional development committee members are very excited about this event since you don’t normally get to tour a dam of this magnitude as part of a floodplain/stormwater organization. The event has been set up so public officials in eastern NE can travel during the morning of a work day, justify an overnight stay since we will have an evening program with CEC’s, and travel home the afternoon of a 2nd day. But it turns out Denver is actually closer to Ogallala than Lincoln (3 hours verses 4 hours) so works great for Colorado CASFM members to make the trip also!
We have been pre-approved for 7.5 CEC’s from ASFPM so is a great opportunity also for CFM’s to pick up quite a few hours if they can’t make one of your schedule events with CEC’s. We can’t offer mountain views like you do at your annual convention (was at your Crested Butte conference in 2016 so know a little bit about your conference amenities), but can offer a big lake, great tour and some floodplain/stormwater socializing. We also attempted to have some less regional (Nebraska) presentations the next day so does not sound like an all Big Red event.
