Managers, operators and stakeholders of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway (Tenn-Tom) gathered in Point Clear, Ala., on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay August 9-11 at the Grand Hotel for the 41st annual Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Conference, hosted by the Tenn-Tom Waterway Development Authority and its sister organization, the Tenn-Tom Waterway Development Council. The authority, established by the U.S. Congress in 1958, is a four-state compact made up of the governors of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee, along with five gubernatorial appointees. The council, founded in 1984 through a resolution of the authority, is a non-profit organization made up of waterway stakeholders. Following a golf scramble August 9, conference attendees reconvened the following morning for the two-day conference. By all accounts, it was the largest crowd in recent memory. |
