Conferences –

Each spring KNRC hosts an annual conference.  Our purpose in sponsoring  conferences is to create a culture where open dialogue on difficult land, water and governmental topics can flourish and where well-reasoned, practical and legitimate responses to Federal initiatives may be forwarded.

Our objective is not simply to provide good quality information, unique networking opportunities or an optimum learning experience; rather, KNRC seeks to create a principle-based, collective-bargaining platform that equips County Commissioners, legislators, agricultural interests and industry with effective tools for engaging Federal agencies.

KNRC selects speakers based upon knowledge, expertise, experience and the continuity each brings to the topics being presented.  Because we value the art of open, candid and respectful dialogue, each conference includes a panel discussion consisting of  experts holding a variety of views.
