Greetings and salutations Southeast Chapter members, I hope everyone had a good winter season and are ready for spring!

Our next Conference Event is the 8th in Annual Municipal Wet Weather Conference (MS4) May 2-4 in Asheville, North Carolina. Hosted by EPA Region 4, IECA, and the Southeast Chapter of IECA, the MS4 Conference is recognized as a key stormwater industry conference. We have an outstanding list of industry leading speakers for you presenting topics ranging from climate impacts to watersheds, erosion prevention and sediment control, endangered species, green infrastructure, resiliency, mountainous watersheds, stormwater standards, and post construction BMP implementation, inspection and maintenance. We will once again be conducting the acclaimed State Panel discussions featuring representative from our EPA Region 4 state regulatory agencies. The conference will feature presentation form EPA on Wednesday. We have an excellent field trip of the New Belgium Brewery “Brownfields” Developments scheduled for those that are interested. We will once again be providing student and professional scholarships to attend the MS4 conference, so if you need financial assistance, we are here to help. I hope to see you all there!
We look to grow our Chapter membership in 2022. A plan we would like to implement this year is to have each member focus on finding one new member. Please challenge yourself to identify a colleague that you believe would benefit by becoming a member.
