Fall Strategic Leadership Meeting & Board of Directors Meeting

November 9 – 10, 2026 | Santa Monica, CA

This event provides NACWA’s volunteer leaders with an opportunity to discuss the Association’s top advocacy issues, as well as important governance matters, and provide the staff with strategic direction for the year ahead. The Leadership Meeting is exclusively for NACWA’s Board members, Standing Committee leaders and a select group of invited affiliate representatives. The goal of this meeting is to gather your perspectives and engage in strategic discussions to position the Association for future success, but it is also intended to provide you with an opportunity to get to know your fellow Association leaders in a more casual setting.

Virtual Workshop: Navigating Partnerships with Data Centers: Strategies Every Utility Leader Needs

September 23, 2026 | 1:00 - 4:30 PM ET

With concerns growing over the rapid expansion of data centers around the country, this Virtual Workshop will focus on the critical role that water and wastewater utilities must play in seeking to ensure meaningful results from the planning, construction and operational phases of data center construction. While others are exploring valuable but highly technical aspects of the data center expansion, this Virtual Workshop will take a different approach in line with NACWA’s mission of raising the voice and stature of the clean water sector.
