NAEPC AWQMS Training
Hi Region 9/NAEPC AWQMS Users,
We are so excited to be coming back to California for another NAPEC supported AWQMS training! We strongly encourage EVERYONE to attend, no matter how comfortable you are in AWQMS to attend due to this training focusing on 1-1 time with each tribe and the new features in AWQMS 6.5. Don't worry, we still will have time for a general overview for AWQMS beginners as well.
Below you will find the details of the training itself and the lodging available. Please let us know as soon as possible if you will be attending.
