Day 3 of learning, collaborating, and networking at the Iowa Emergency Management Association Spring convention. Always great to get together with colleagues, partners, and other stakeholders.

Highlights include; great talks from our own fellow District 2 coordinator, Kyle Bissell from Humbolt Co., Iowa Task Force 1, the FBI, University of Iowa, State Fire Marshal's Office, and other great speakers. The Bremer Co. Coordinator and I even got to operate one of the State's bomb mitigation robots!

Oh, and of course there were plenty of support dogs to hangout with and pet! Pictured are K-9s Haze, Maveric, and Mabel.

Have a great weekend and stay safe out there!
