Instream Flow Council
2022 Biennial Meeting
Columbia, Missouri
April 4-7, 2022
Thank you to all IFC members that attended the 2022 Biennial Meeting, both in person and online. The central theme of this years meeting, member presentations, and discussion was around training and IFC support:
- How has the IFC helped me to improve my job skills and program effectiveness
- How will formal training and certification in the concepts, tools, and their applications in the discipline of instream flow and water level conservation assist and improve my and my agency effectiveness
- What kind of skills do I think I am in most need of and that the proposed Instream Flow and Water Level Training Center should provide
