Looking back
Over 250 people attended the 2015 conference and pre-conference activities. Wednesday evening included an opportunity to network at the Peoria Riverfront Museum. Tuesday’s pre-conference activities included an urban watershed tour complete with a visit to the Illinois American Water Treatment Plant, three workshops, and the quarterly meeting of the River Coordinating Councils hosted by Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti.
