2006 Silent & Live Auction
to Support the ASFPM Foundation

Conference attendees will have the opportunity to bid on valuable goods and services donated by local businesses, ASFPM Chapters, the States, Corporate sponsors and individuals. Bidding opens Monday following the Membership Meeting and will close Wednesday at 5:00 pm with a NEW LIVE AUCTION.

Where the $$ goes

All proceeds from the Silent Auction will go to the ASFPM Foundation, created in 1997 to support research and education that promote wise floodplain management. Using floodplains wisely provides the means to address our flooding problems as well as create sustainable development for future generations.
