Annual Meeting

Home » About Us » Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the UMRCC is held in March and rotates among member state locations.  The meeting format includes a day of technical section meetings that focus on specific topics of interest to each section, followed by two days of general presentations about the river. 

The meetings are filled with opportunities to learn, connect, and collaborate.  The banquet on the last night of the meeting is a highlight for attendees including fellowship, UMRCC awards presentations, and a fund-raising raffle. 

Previous year’s meeting information is published in the UMRCC proceedings and technical section agendas for previous spring meetings can be found on the Focus Area pages.
