The 74th Annual Meeting will be held Tuesday and Wednesday, January 28 & January 29, 2025, at Hotel Topeka at City Center, 1717 SW Topeka Blvd, Topeka, KS.  We are planning to follow the same format as in 2024 with a Watershed event at the Capitol Building.

Lunch will be provided and is included in the registration fee. The shuttle will pick up from the Capitol Building at 2:00 p.m. and return to the hotel. The meeting presentations will reconvene at 2:30 p.m. and conclude at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will reconvene at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
