I attended the Great Waters Expo show in the Chicago area this past Saturday. I was there from about 9:30 am to 4pm. I can probably count on one hand the folks i saw under the age of 20.

Last March i attended a big stream restoration seminar in SW Wisconsin. It was well attended by multiple TU chapters from MN, Wis & IL...there were also chapters form IA, IN, OH and i think even MI. I would say attendence represented a pretty good cross section of chapters. This is what my buddy and i took away from the event.

TU is a bunch of middle aged white guys...no youth, no diversity...not sure how that bodes for the future. We were probably the two youngest there...and we're not young...

Just some observations....
