The 22nd Annual Indiana Lakes Management Society Conference will take place on Friday and Saturday, March 26-27, 2010 at Merrillville's Radisson Star Plaza. The theme for the 2010 conference is "All Lakes, Great and Small". The ILMS Conference offers a chance for citizens, professionals, lakes managers, non-profits, and agency personnel to mix and mingle. Annually, more than 180 individuals travel through the state to learn the latest about lakes management, hear updates about on-going projects, and meet and greet friends from conferences past. For conference information, see below. All information will also be available on the ILMS website, www.indianalakes.org, once the website update is complete in the near future. We hope to see each of you at the conference this year!
