    Vol. 17, No. 4 August 2005 ASSOCIATION OF STATE FLOODPLAIN MANAGERS, INC. ANNUAL CONFERENCE BIGGER, BROADER, BETTER The Association of State Floodplain Managers’ 29th annual conference was held June 12-17, 2005, in Madison, Wisconsin, also the site of the ASFPM’s first national conference (in 1982). This time, almost 950 participants from around the United States and the world attended (compared to just under 150 at the inaugural meeting). The 2005 conference showed not only that the enthusiasm and dedication of the floodplain management community has become even stronger over the years, but also that the field itself has broadened and deepened considerably. The week overflowed with expert technical presentations, small-group discussions, training sessions, technical field trips, and exhibits. The opening plenary session set the theme for the whole conference: “No Adverse Impact—Partnering for Sustainable Floodplain Management.” Chad Berginnis, Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Chair of the ASFPM, explained how local handling of extreme natural events (like floods) requires both cooperation among diverse partners in the public and private sector and looking ahead to anticipate future development and related problems. Steve Fontana, State Representative from Connecticut, relayed the process of self-education, coalition-building, and perseverance that he endured over the past few years in getting “no adverse impact” legislation passed in his state. Meg Galloway, President of the Association of State Dam Safety Officials, described the interactions—both in Wisconsin and nationally—among floodplain management and dam safety initiatives and programs. Welcome updates on the programs of three key federal partners were offered at the second plenary session.
