1 1 <br />"Building Communities Beyond the 100-Year Line" <br />By Robert Krehbiel, Conference Chair <br />Mark your calendars! CASFM's annual conference is back in Glenwood Springs at the historic Hotel Col- <br />orado September 27 — 29, 2006 this year. CASFM will completely take over the hotel, and everyone at the <br />facility will be associated with the conference. This is the 17th annual conference and should provide a perfect <br />opportunity to get out of town, meet new people, network with your peers, view fall colors and enjoy the last of <br />the warm weather in the Rocky Mountains. Our conference experience in Glenwood Springs in 2004 was very <br />positive, and we are excited about returning to the hotel. For those interested, the Certified Floodplain Manag- <br />er's exam review will begin a day earlier on September 26th. Don't miss out! <br />Topics at this year's conference include: <br />• Flood Preparedness: simulations, flood outlook, reservoir storage, updated hydrology <br />• Stream Restoration: bio engineering, aquatic life, monitoring, stabilization <br />• Stormwater Management & Erosion Control: watershed controls, innovative BMP's <br />• River Hydrology & Hydraulic Modeling: levee requirements, 3 -D modeling, GIS tools <br />• Channel Stabilization: new drop structure designs, hydraulic jumps, diversions <br />• Urban Stormwater Runoff & Master Planning: runoff models, detention, funding <br />Look for a registration mailer and email reminders in July to register for the conference, to book your room <br />and for more conference information. Glenwood Springs offers many activities for family members and oppor- <br />tunities for river rafting, biking, hiking, fishing, golfing and of course, relaxation in the Hot Springs Pool. The <br />Hotel Colorado has historic charm and three large conference rooms to host our conference. The Grand Ball- <br />room is beautiful and will provide a nice facility for our main activities and meals. The courtyard is elegant and <br />if the weather holds, will be a nice location for the socials with a backdrop of the fall colors. Conference partici- <br />pants will have opportunities to stay in unique rooms and can share larger two or three bedroom units to save <br />money. Inquire about the many different room options when booking your room or suite. <br />The conference will be bigger than ever with a record 36 technical presentations and 3 workshop opportuni- <br />ties. The conference will also include the same great format of keynote presentation, plenary session, and project <br />awards. There will be a workshop on Monitoring Stream Restoration, and the ever - popular bike field trip along <br />the Colorado River. We think this will be popular conference and look forward to your participation! <br />We hope to see you there! <br />It <br />,. <br />Summer 2006 13 <br />
