This year’s conference was held virtually
The Maryland Association of Floodplain and Stormwater Managers (MAFSM) Annual Conference draws attendees from local, state, and federal government as well as the private sector throughout Maryland, attracting nearly 200 engineers, planners, water resource professionals and NFIP stakeholders, annually.
This year’s conference was held virtually and split over two days – November 5&6 from 8:30am to 12:15pm. We had a packed agenda with 20 technical presentations delivered to you in the comfort of your home or office. The conference was approved by ASFPM for 6 CECs for CFM certification.
While we were unable to host a CFM exam with this year’s conference or NFIP Training Workshop this year due to the pandemic, we hope we can bring those back next year.
