I have attended the IDEA Fall Conference every year since I started in 2016, except of course 2020 when it was canceled due to the pandemic. This conference provides a unique experience each year for Indiana District Staff to have the opportunity to meet statewide. This is an ideal time to receive practical training, network and discuss District issues and projects. After the 2 1/2 days together, I always come away feeling renewed in the direction we are all headed and having learned more about conservation and the positive impact our collective efforts make in Indiana and beyond our borders.
