The Indiana Lakes Management Work Group (ILMWG) is a legislatively-created advisory group that examines issues related to the protection and management of Indiana's public freshwater lakes. The ILMWG was originally established in 1997 and is authorized in two-year cycles. The ILMWG consists of 26 members, including four members of the General Assembly, three representatives from the Department of Natural Resources, a representative from the Department of Environmental Management, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, a member of the Indiana Lakes Management Society, and 10 members appointed at-large.

 The purpose of the ILMWG is to facilitate collaborative efforts among state, county, and local government entities in cooperation with lake residents, lake-related organizations, and business. Actions include conducting public meetings to hear testimony and receive comments on lake resource concerns and to develop proposed solutions to address those concerns. This is accomplished by reviewing, updating and coordinating implementation of the ILMWG recommendations that involve statutory and administrative rule changes, funding, and public education.

Summaries of ILMWG meetings are drafted by a member of the ILMS.  These summaries are provided and archived here for your information.
