The 2017 Annual Meeting and Workshop for the Association of Mid-Atlantic Aquatic Biologists (AMAAB) will be March 30th – March 31st, 2017 at Cacapon State Park near Berkeley Springs, WV. We are planning a full day of presentations on Thursday. Mini workshops will be held on Friday morning. The host for this year's workshop is the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.
The procedures for offering presentations have not changed from previous years and can be found in the AMAAB website’s “Call for Presentations” section.
Pre-registration for 2017 AMAAB Workshop should be sent by email to
[email protected]. Be sure to reference "[your last name] AMAAB 2017" in the subject line. Please include your contact information (name, address, telephone number).
The registration fee is $60 which includes an evening social on Thursday, March 30th. Payments are typically made onsite at the meeting and may be made by cash or personal and agency checks made payable to
AMAAB. We regret that we will not be able to accept credit cards.
Onsite Registration will take place on:
Wednesday, March 29th -- 7:00-8:30pm
(preferred as to allow meeting to start on time Thursday)
Thursday, March 30th -- 8:00-9:00am
Cash or checks will be accepted at onsite registration. If your email address has changed, please leave one of your business cards at the registration table so we can update our mailing list. It is important that we get an updated email address from members because we have made the transition to conducting all business by email and website postings instead of by traditional paper mailings.
There will be morning refreshments offered on Thursday and Friday morning (coffee, Danish, juice) but nothing that counts as a “formal” breakfast.
Again this year we will be holding a raffle. This has been a big success each year. So bring a little extra cash, you may win and all help supports the meeting!
We are working on putting together photo galleries of past meetings. If you have any digital photos or videos from past meetings that you would like to share, please send them to our webmaster Katherine Hanna (
[email protected]).
Check back periodically for updates. We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.
Best regards,
Rick Browder
2017 AMAAB President
