2009 KACD Convention
The Kansas Association of Conservation Districts held its 65th annual convention November 22-24, 2009, at the Wichita Airport Hilton. This year's theme was "Kansas Conservation: 'Going Green' for 70 Years,” and breakouts featured a number of "green" programs as well as others designed to inform and educate supervisors and district employees.
About 400 conservationists and spouses attended this year’s convention, representing all but a handful of Kansas conservation districts. Breakout sessions included Kansas Water Issues, Communications Tools for Districts, the Kansas Green Schools Program, Conflicts of Interest/Fiscal Responsibility, Maximizing the KACEE-KACD Partnership, Energy Grant Program for Farmers, The Upper Wakarusa WRAPS--A Model Approach, How Green Can Increase the Bottom Line, Kansas TMDL Status Update, Options for Expiring CRP Acres in Kansas, Local Conservation Implementation at the Crossroads--Management Unit Cooperation, and Wind and Water. Breakout sessions were well-attended; several had standing room only.
Keynote speakers included Senator Carolyn McGinn, chairwoman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, at the Monday SCC luncheon; Senator Sam Brownback at the Monday evening banquet; and Congressman Jerry Moran at the Tuesday morning breakfast. An added feature this year was a motivational speaker on Sunday evening. Niki Contreras of the Business Performance Group at Butler Community College gave an entertaining talk on “The Power of Positivity.”
