INAFSM 2019 Conference LogoMessage from the Conference Chair 

Thank you for your participation in the 2019 INAFSM Annual Conference!

We had a fantastic time at the Grand Wayne Center in historic Fort Wayne, complete with four stellar learning tracks, dozens of vendors, and hundreds of friends – new and old.

Some new things this year included the switch to fully utilize our conference app, the introduction of our Young Professionals Group, and introducing Synergos as our new administrative management agency. Utilizing our tech capabilities, working alongside our future leaders and tapping into the knowledge of a professional management agency will help INAFSM continue to grow and better serve water professionals across the State of Indiana.

A very special thank you to the Conference Planning Committee, our sponsors, the City of Fort Wayne, Synergos, and all who helped to make this event possible. From the friendly Mayor to the talented caterers to the entertaining tour bus drivers to the museum curator who let us play like kids – The people of Fort Wayne will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Please plan to join us next year in Evansville for the 2020 INAFSM Conference; and a very special thank you – to you – for all that you do to improve water safety and quality in the State of Indiana!

In service,

April Ramoni, CFM
2019 Conference Committee Chair
