NWC 2025 Legislative Summit attendees,
What an incredible three days we had at the 2025 Legislative Summit in Washington, DC, March 10-12, 2025! The event was filled with phenomenal speakers, insightful sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. Together, we tackled key issues facing the water resources sector—from evolving federal appropriations dynamics to regulatory shifts and infrastructure challenges.
A particularly special moment was taking the time to recognize Rick Johnson for his extraordinary leadership and contributions – not only as a dedicated member of NWC’s leadership team and local host of our Annual Meeting in Sacramento, but also for his tireless work on behalf of the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency and the entire water resources community. With Rick retiring this July, this Summit marked our last opportunity to honor him in person and acknowledge how truly special he is to all of us.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without you – our engaged attendees – and the generous support of our sponsors, who are listed below:
- PLATINUM: Valley Water
- GOLD: Port of Virginia
- SILVER: Tarrant Regional Water District and Trinity River Authority
- BRONZE: HDR, Inc., Port Houston, TI Terminals and Forgen
- BRANDING: CDM Smith, Inc, Moffatt & Nichol, Black & Veatch, San Joaquin Area Flood Control, and Great Lakes Dredge & Dock, Co.
- SUPPORTER: BB&K, Freese and Nichols, Inc., Georgia Ports, and Stanley Consultants
Thank you for making the 2025 Legislative Summit such a success!
