We are excited to welcome you back to the Willard InterContinental Hotel for our 2026 Washington D.C. Policy Forum! There is always plenty of action in the nation’s capitol as we check in on developments during the first full year of the Presidential administration and what has changed for clean water agencies. This year’s event will feature an excellent program with speakers that include Congressional staff, reporters, and national water association leaders providing their perspective on what we learned in 2025 and what we expect to see in the lead up to the mid-terms in 2026. We have again set aside time for agencies to make their own appointments for Congressional visits, with the assistance of our federal advocates Eric and Sarah Sapirstein, and we are also planning to set a meeting with USEPA officials. Join us in Washington D.C. to strengthen our advocacy and promote our collective federal agenda on February 23-24, 2026. We hope to see you there!
