2013 Western Division Annual Meeting Recap
The Idaho Chapter of the American Fisheries Society hosted the 2013 Western Division Annual Meeting April 15th-18th at the Idaho Centre convention center in downtown sunny Boise Idaho. The meeting was a tremendous success with 710 registrants representing four foreign countries, and 27 states! Over 600 fisheries professionals from 149 different entities and 99 students from 10 different states representing at least 17 schools attended this meeting. Many chapter members and the two Idaho Chapter student subunits, the Palouse Unit associated with the University of Idaho, and the Portneuf Unit associated with Idaho State University stepped up to help make the meeting a great event. The Idaho Centre convention center venue and able planning by the many committee members ensured that the meeting was well organized, very informative, and very profitable thanks to the efforts of many chapter members.
