2012 NGWA Ground Water Summit: Innovate and Integrate

Taking Science to the Policy Makers

Tuesday, May 8, 2012: 4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m.
Terrace Room D-F (Hyatt Regency Orange County)
In the current political climate, it is more important than ever to get up-to-date information about groundwater and science to our local, state, and federal legislatures. In this panel discussion we will have representatives from academia, government agencies, consulting firms, and contractors that recently attended the Annual Groundwater Industry Legislative Conference or Washington Fly-in. They will discuss the ins-and-outs of lobbying, what happens during a congressional visit, how to get involved no matter where you work, why it is important to get our message to legislators, and much more. If you were ever interested in making a difference, this panel discussion will show you what you need to know.
Presenters:
Robert P. Schreiber, PE, BCEE, D.WRE , Arther E. Becker and Robert B. Swanson
