PWQA Legislative Days is an excellent opportunity to meet local legislators in the company of fellow PWQA members and association lobbyists. Members introduce themselves as experts in the water improvement industry and leave each representative with PWQA literature. If or when anything affecting the industry comes across the association’s desk, legislators can call on the association for further explanation of the effects their decisions will have on the water improvement industry.
The purpose of this annual event is to build strength and establish PWQA and its members as a trusted reliable source of information. With term limits, the association has found itself continually introducing members anew because of new legislators in office. Each year, PQWA must educate elected officials about this industry. By attending Legislative Days, members will build on past experience and become more confident in the message the association is committed to make. PWQA will provide training, including history of past legislation, so that attendees are prepared to introduce themselves as an expert in the water improvement industry.
To register, please email Ron Ruef at [email protected] with both home and work addresses so a meeting with legislators can be requested. PWQA has a room block at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento with a special rate of $209 per night Single / Double Occupancy. Please register for your room ASAP due to limited availability, as once the room block is full, PWQA can no longer offer the special rate.
