Join us for the 2014 AWRA Annual Water Resources Conference, November 3-6 in Tysons Corner, VA (outskirts of DC). There's an abundance of interesting water resources sessions and events planned throughout the conference. For students specifically, there's also a student career night that includes Q&A with a diverse group of panelists from different facets of the water resources field and a speed networking session with professionals.
If you're interested in attending, please contact Natalie Nelson (nataliegnelson@ufl.edu) or one of the other board members ASAP so that we can coordinate travel and lodging. We'll be able to dramatically cut down on the cost if hotel rooms can be shared!

Please contact Kristin Bennett at Kristin.Bennett@tetratech.com ASAP with your budget request using the template provided below.

We are excited to announce that award-winning journalist and author Cynthia Barnett will be speaking at our first meeting of the fall semester. She is a wealth of knowledge regarding freshwater and water issues. In addition to countless magazine and newspaper articles, she has written two books on water (see photos below) and is releasing another one soon (a human and natural history of rain). She is an amazing and inspiring speaker, so you do not want to miss her presentation. For more information about Cynthia Barnett, see her website. Hope to see you at the meeting!
