Each month, the River Management Society hosts a virtual conversation on a relevant topic with professionals who study, protect and manage rivers. Our goal is to facilitate an open forum to support your work. We work together to tackle common issues by asking questions, sharing solutions and building comradery. River Management Roundtables take place on Zoom on the second Tuesday of the month from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. ET. Links to register are sent out via the RMS News Digest and RMS social media (@rivermgtsociety).

In partnership with the USDA Forest Service, RMS developed a guide that explains how to add trainings from outside of AgLearn, such as River Training Center workshops, to your AgLearn portal to help you track your professional development experience.
