Thank you for attending our 4th Annual Rappahannock River Roundtable Symposium!

Please contact info@rappahannockroundtable.org, if you are interested in being a 2025 symposium sponsor.

An opportunity to collaborate, learn, and connect with others who share a similar passion for promoting clean water and preserving our environment. 

Thank you to Director Mike Rolband of Virginia’s Department of Environmental Quality for taking the wonderful opportunity to be our guest keynote speaker this year!

Director Mike Rolband joined Virginia’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in January 2022. Rolband’s lifelong interest in wetlands and stormwater management and its interactions with natural waterbodies has led to changes in Virginia’s environmental laws. He was instrumental in developing Virginia’s new wetland laws in 2000 and served on the technical advisory committee that developed subsequent regulations. He was also involved in developing the new stormwater regulations and the energy balance method of stormwater quantity control. He has been appointed to several advisory boards and stakeholder groups. Rolband established the nonprofit Wetland Research Initiative in 2007 to fund applied research in wetlands creation, restoration, and enhancement activities. It and a companion effort – the Stream Restoration Initiative – are both managed through the Resource Protection Group, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) organization Rolband founded in 2012. Rolban received his B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, M. Eng., and MBA from Cornell University.

Thank you to our supporters and sponsors!
