The Fall Workshop is a one-day event that includes presentations on regional flood-related topics. Traditionally, VFMA has hosted two Fall Workshops in October. However, beginning this year, VFMA will now host three Fall Workshops! VFMA is very excited to expand the Fall Workshop opportunity to the western part of the state.
VFMA submits each workshop for pre-approval with the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) for Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for Certified Floodplain Managers. These workshops are typically approved for 4-5 CECs.
Workshop Registration Options Available
Regular: $85.00
Student/Teacher: $35.00 NEW!
Speaker: Free
All registrations include a VFMA Membership, breakfast snacks, lunch, & refreshments
Registration and payment must be received no later than 2 weeks before the workshop date. Late registrants may pay by cash or check at the door, but attendance should be confirmed in advance by e-mailing the appropriate workshop chair.
