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.
Please note registration is complimentary for the Leadership Meeting.
When planning your trip, please note that NACWA’s National Clean Water Law and Enforcement Seminar will take place immediately after the Leadership Meeting, so please consider staying for that event.
