Record Attendance at NWC\u2019s 58th<\/sup> Annual Meeting and to Celebrate the City of New Orleans\u2019 300th<\/sup> Anniversary <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Port of New Orleans and the Big River Coalition, with the support of the Associated Branch Pilots, the Crescent River Pilots, the Lake Charles Pilots, and the New Orleans-Baton Rouge Steamship Pilots Association, welcomed a record crowd for NWC\u2019s 58th<\/sup> Annual Meeting as the City celebrates its 300th<\/sup> Anniversary.<\/p>\n

Founded near the mouth of the Mississippi River, New Orleans retains much of the French and Spanish culture and architecture that reflect its diverse and rich heritage. Today it is a vibrant city, proving its resilience over time.<\/p>\n

That resilience was on display, through presentations from Ms. Brandy Christian, President and CEO of the Port of New Orleans; Col. Michael Clancy, USACE New Orleans District Commander; Sean Duffy, Executive Director of the Big River Coalition; and Bob Turner, Director of Engineering and Operations, Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East and Emergency Management lead to the New Orleans Sewer and Water Board.<\/p>\n

The remainder of the outstanding program agenda addressed issues important to all water resources stakeholders, with particular focus on a pending water resources development act, record energy and water funding, and the future of the civil works program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
