Utility Leadership Conference

July 16-19, 2019
Minneapolis, MN

With the theme Building a Network of Influence: Utility Executive Leadership in a Changing World, NACWA’s 2019 Utility Leadership Conference will explore the cultural, operational and technological shifts that are influencing all aspects of clean water utility management and how utility executives are adapting.

The last decade has brought about significant changes – from the national level and the growing partisan divide, to the local level where utilities are playing an increasingly-visible role in their communities. Challenges involving workforce, rate setting and affordability, and community and customer engagement are playing out both nationally and locally, putting utility executives in a position that presents both challenges and opportunities. NACWA’s 2019 Utility Leadership Conference will explore these and other issues facing utility leaders and provide strategies to help navigate the constantly evolving utility management environment.

Winter Conference

February 5-8, 2019
Albuquerque, NM

In passing the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Congress had two different goals and objectives in sight. The CWA was a means to mitigate point source pollution and achieve the goal of “fishable and swimmable” surface waters in the United States. The SDWA aimed to protect public health and provide safe, high quality drinking water from source to tap. Over the last 50 years, programs under each Act have matured differently, but perhaps now more than ever, wastewater and drinking water issues are overlapping in the real world. NACWA’s 2019 Winter Conference takes a deep look into the progress of the CWA, its nexus with the SDWA, and asks whether the palpable intersection between these monumental environmental statutes breeds conflict or collaboration for the water sector.
