08.17.08 ASCE WISCONSIN SECTION ANNUAL MEETING: Next Generation Biofuels
Park Plaza Hotel Oshkosh, WI September 26, 2008
The Fox River Valley Branch cordially invites you to attend the Wisconsin Section 2008 ASCE Annual Meeting. The venue this year will be in Oshkosh at the Park Plaza Hotel.
The Technical Committee Chairs have provided a “green” variety of presentations along with other technical presentations, ranging from Greening Storm Water Regulations to Wind Energy. We are confident that there are topics of interest for everyone. We are also very excited to have the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center talk about their research in biofuels. As an added bonus, Richard J. Varuso of the US Army Corps of Engineers will give a presentation after the awards. Mr. Varuso is the Deputy Chief of Geotechnical Engineering in New Orleans and is currently working to improve the Greater New Orleans Hurricane Storm Protection System. We hope the sessions are of interest and provide a valuable learning opportunity. Registration and Informaiton
