We had a great time at the 2024 Floodplain Management Association Conference in Henderson, Nevada! The event featured panels relating to flood control, workshops, networking opportunities, and social hours. As a proud community service project sponsor, KSN partnered with HELP of Southern Nevada for the annual Backpack Stuffing event, where attendees filled backpacks with everyday essentials to support the homeless. A big thank you to FMA for bringing together our communities and hosting another successful conference! #floodmitigation #floodplainmanagementassociation #CaliforniaFloodFight

The evening casino party was a fun night of food, drinks, games, and seeing how well you know your odds!

The exhibit hall was a frequent stop for conference attendees! A community service event, facilitated by our Community Service Committee, was held during one of the sessions. During this event, attendees volunteered to help pack backpacks for a local Nevada Charity.

The 2024 FMA conference was a success! Which presentations, panels, or workshops were your favorite? Hopefully, you had a chance to stop in to play that "Dam Game"! 🎲
