2008 CONFERENCE

2008 Annual Conference:
The Pursuit of Sustainability:
Managing the Flood of Environmental, Economic and Social Debts

March 12 & 13, 2008
Tinley Park, Illinois

 


The Conference
Our global and local communities are working increasingly hard to identify and develop solutions to issues such as the impacts of climate change, the future of our water supplies, and our dependency on oil. Floodplain and stormwater managers must also consider sustainability in all that they do. So must our chosen profession, be it local officials, engineers, consultants, planners, conservationists, architects or landscape architects, strive to ensure that the infrastructure we build and the programs we develop are sustainable. Conference presenters will explore ways to make floodplain and stormwater management techniques more sustainable. Speakers from federal, state, regional, and local agencies and the private sector will share their knowledge on current programs.

CRS
The Community Rating System Committee is working to increase Illinois participation. ISO staff will be available to meet individually with those interested in the CRS.

The Insurance Services Office will be available to meet one-on-one with
people wanting to know more about the Community Rating System or their
community's participation in the CRS. Click here for more information on the meetings.
