We're excited to see everyone in beautiful San Diego next month! It will be a week packed with technical sessions, a Legacy Lecture featuring Dr. J. David Rogers, committee meetings, two excellent plenary sessions, and a day of workshops. The Friday field tour is currently sold out but you can be placed on a waiting list. Of course, there will also be plenty of opportunities to network during two evening receptions and at the wrap party at Casa de Reye in Old Town. Unlike other conferences, everything except the field tour is included in the cost of your full conference registration!

Spark conversation and engage the USSD community to consider and answer questions, such as: Why are women leaving the dam industry? How can gender-equity benefit the industry? How can USSD become a leader in attracting more diversity to the industry? What tools and training can we provide our members to support inclusion regardless of gender, race and sexual orientation? 
 
The conversation starts with a Wednesday session followed by a (ticketed) luncheon featuring keynote speaker and author Rosemary Yeremian.
