<br />... <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />s <br /> <br />M <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />F <br /> <br />Welcome, everyone, to the 2000 Annual Conference of the Colorado Association of Stormwater and <br />Floodplain Managers. The scenic Fall beauty and fresh mountain air at Steamboat Springs <br />provides a wonderful respite from the busy office atmosphere, allowing us all to relax a bit for a few <br />days. The conference allows us to gather at a beautiful setting and discuss issues regarding <br />floodplain and stormwater management with our peers. <br /> <br />For our 11th annual conference, we selected a theme of "Storming into the New Century", to <br />recognize the approach of the new millennium, and to reflect on how technology and man's efforts <br />to deal with flood and stormwater have changed and continue to change. Our keynote speaker, Dr. <br />Larry Roesner, from Colorado State University, will open the conference with a presentation on a <br />key issue that has continually evolved over the past 20 years, namely Best Management Practices <br />(BMP's) for enhancement of stormwater runoff quality. <br /> <br />We have an exciting afternoon program on Wednesday following Dr. Roesner's keynote address <br />and luncheon_ First, Mark Glidden will host an interactive panel discussion on urban growth <br />development and f1oodplain/stormwater issues. This will be followed by our ever popular <br />presentations by the finalists for the CASFM Award for Outstanding Project of the Year, hosted by <br />John Doerfer. <br /> <br />Thursday is a full day of activities starting with a member breakfast and concurrent technical <br />sessions. After a box lunch, members can attend either of two workshops, or take a bike trip for the <br />afternoon_ The day is complete with an evening cocktail session in the exhibit area and our annual <br />CASFM dinner. <br /> <br />Friday offers concurrent sessions in the morning on Bioengineering Techniques and Flood <br />Control/Channel Stabilization, with closing remarks before noon_ Gluttons for punishment will be <br />off to the golf course for the annual fist shaking at Robert Trent Jones (rest-in-peace). We <br />encourage everyone to stay and enjoy Steamboat Springs for the remaining Labor Day Weekend. <br /> <br />I wolJd like to express my de:epest thanks to the following members who unselfishly devoted their <br />time during this hectic year to help willh !h.e planning and arrangements for this year's conference. <br /> <br />Jamie Cribbs, Program Chair <br />Mark Glidden, Hotel, Panei Discussion <br />John Doerfer, Awards <br />Doug Williams, Vendors <br />,John Hunt, Keynote Speaker <br /> <br />Doug Stewart, Registration <br />Mike Bartusek, Golf Tournament <br />Doug Trieste, Bike Trip <br />Mee Smith, Logo Design and Materials <br />Printmobile, Notebook Printing and Assembly <br /> <br />Special thanks, also, to those who volunteered to be: session moderators, assist with registration, <br />and coordinate conference activities. <br /> <br />ENJOY THE CONFERENCE! ~ <br /> <br />John Pflaum, Conference Cttairrr. .___ <br />Colorado Association ofStormwater IUltI Floodplain Managers <br />
