Water Education Foundation’s 2018 Water Summit
The summit will be held Sept. 20 in Sacramento along California’s largest and longest river, the Sacramento River, where we’ll network at the reception outside.
Formerly called the Executive Briefing and celebrating its 35th year, the Water Summit will feature top policymakers and leading stakeholders providing the latest information and viewpoints on issues impacting water statewide and across the West. Brenda Burman, commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, will give the keynote lunch address.
