In the technical sessions that afternoon, Eric chaired a session and Ken presented a paper for a Cal-Neva member who couldn t attend the meeting. Another social on Monday, this one at the local zoo. More great food, more free beer, and more networking. More technical sessions all day. Eric presented a paper.
Trade show all day.
If you don t attend a technical session, you are usually in the trade show talking to folks or in the lobby, meeting with friends or others to discuss Division programs, network, or whatever. The Society will send representatives to the 3rd World Fisheries Congress in Beijing in October and will submit a proposal to host the 4 th World Fisheries Congress in 2004. If the proposal is accepted, several cities in the Western Division may be considered as potential sites for the meeting. The meetings included a debriefing session with the St Louis Program Co-Chairs, a debriefing with the entire organizing Committee for the St Louis meeting, and then a Phoenix 2001 planning meeting. Many Western Division AFS members are already involved and more help is needed from Division members.
