The Virginia Floodplain Management Association (VFMA), in conjunction with the Virginia Lakes and Watersheds Association (VLWA) is seeking papers for presentation at the Virginia Water Conference 2010.  Recent conferences have provided an excellent opportunity to learn about current local, state, and federal regulations and practices in floodplain management.  The conference is typically attended by more than 200 professionals from the public and private sectors.

Presentations are selected based on abstract summaries, which will be published in the conference proceedings.

If topics are received that would fit better in a concurrent VLWA conference track, they will be passed on to VLWA for consideration.

All speakers must register for the conference and pay the appropriate registration fee through VLWA  at www.vlwa.org.  VLWA handles the registrations and all fees, and has a concurrent call for papers.

Authors will be notified regarding acceptance by January 15, 2010, and the program will be published by February 3, 2010.

Exhibition space and conference sponsorships are available.  See the conference registration form at http://www.vlwa.org/conferences/VLWA%20Call%20for%20Papers%202009.pdf for additional details.
