Who might be interested in presenting at ACE? - Steve Wilson is interested in submitting. Mike Burris is also going to look to see if he can prepare something. Pat Gleason will talk to Bud to see what they might have. Bob Rick will give it some thought.
Suggestion that we compile a list of abstracts and send that list to Brian Jobb.
Steve to check to see if they are having a small systems day at ACE.
WATERCON Operator Day
- We can start to identify topics and speakers
- Pat Gleason - considering doing some talk for managers - possibly an emergency table top exercise at the small systems session.
- Steve was at Horsely Whitten - Mark Nelson presented a table top talk - that showed a water tower was painted and it said " I poisoned the water "
It happened in Morris. We can contact them for information too.
- Can also break into small groups and each group come up with what they would do.
- Lori Stenzel is interested in speaking again and will go through some case studies and will dovetail nicely with the emergency response theme.
