If you only have time to attend one water conference this spring this is THE event to attend: the Water Education Foundation’s March 25 Executive Briefing in Sacramento.

Consider the lineup of top speakers (just to name a few):

• DWR Director Mark Cowin
• Principal Deputy Assistant Interior Secretary Jennifer Gimbel
• Cal-EPA Undersecretary Gordon Burns
• Deputy Resources Secretary Karla Nemeth
• Delta Vision Foundation President Sunne McPeak
• California Water Foundation Executive Director Lester Snow

And at one time in one place you’ll hear provocative discussions from decision-makers and others involved in the key issues behind today’s major headlines:

• Surviving the California drought
• What’s next with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act?
• The latest on the Delta planning process
• The water bond: Who gets the money?
• Does the Salton Sea have a future?
• Water challenges in the Colorado River Basin

This one-day event will be held at the Red Lion Woodlake Hotel and Conference Center in Sacramento. Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the first presentation set for 8:30. After the Briefing adjourns at 5 p.m. take the opportunity to network at our hosted reception, sponsored by CV Strategies.

If that’s not enough you will also have the opportunity to bid on a variety of donated items from restaurant gift certificates to lunches with the movers and shakers in the water world, wine, and a week’s stay at a Lake Priest, Idaho, vacation cabin. Proceeds from this silent auction benefit our Water Leaders Class.
