2025 Washington D.C. Policy Forum Recap
Thank you to all who joined us in the nation’s capital to hear from distinguished speakers and participate in visits with our California Representatives and their staff! During the CASA Policy Forum in Washington D.C., we heard from congressional staff, national water association leaders and other policy experts on what to expect in 2025. We have already received wonderful feedback about this year’s event and hope all those who attended left feeling informed, inspired, and ready to tackle the new year! As always, we were proud to advocate on behalf of CASA member agencies to advance clean water priorities. It’s never too early to save the date for the next conference, CASA’s 70th Annual Conference, which will be held on July 30 – August 1, 2025, in San Diego.
