2014 AWRA Annual Water Resources Conference

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!

Also, for those planning on attending, the Florida Section generously provides as much monetary support as their budget allows to fund student attendance to the meeting. Please contact Kristin Bennett at Kristin.Bennett@tetratech.com ASAP with your budget request using the template provided below. Please note that financial support from the FL Section is only provided by means of reimbursement after confirmed attendance to the conference - no advances will be made prior.

To be completed and sent to Ms. Bennett:
Will you be giving an oral presentation (abstract accepted)? Yes/No
Will you be presenting a poster (abstract accepted)? Yes/No
Registration - $
Airfare or car rental/mileage - $
Hotel - $ (if staying at the Sheraton where the conference is being held, the cost is $178.08/night including tax - hopefully we can share rooms and reduce the cost)
Food expenses - $ (note that food expenses will likely not be covered)

Hope to see many of you in DC! Feel free to contact Natalie with any questions!

  1. REMINDER: August 15 is the deadline for budget requests - if you want to go, make sure you apply for funding soon!!

    Info from AWRA...
    "Students, AWRA Florida has funds available to support student participation at the AWRA National Conference being held in Tysons Corner, Virginia (just outside of Washington, D.C.) in November 2014. Preference will be given to students presenting at the conference. However, AWRA Florida recognizes the value of student attendance for educational and networking opportunities and will support as many students as possible. Students will be reimbursed for approved expenses upon submission of receipts and confirmation of attendance. All budget requests must be submitted no later than August 15, 2014. Please contact Kristin Bennett at 772-781-3414 for additional information."
