On 3 July 2009 I posted about Jim Thebaut's National Water Policy Event that will take place on 28 July 2009 at 5:30 PM in the auditorium of the Capitol Visitor Center.
Here is a link to a story with many details about the event, including the confirmed panelists:
Confirmed panelists include Pat Mulroy, General Manager, Las Vegas Valley Water District and Southern Nevada Water Authority; H. David Nahai, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), the largest municipal utility in the United States; Lena Fowler, former head of the Navajo Nation Water Commission, who now serves on Arizona’s Coconino County Board of Supervisors, District 5; Mark Bernstein, Managing Director, USC Energy Institute; Bradley H. Udall, Director of the University of Colorado Western Water Assessment; Dr. Gene Whitney, Research Manager for the Energy and Minerals Section of the Congressional Research Service in the Library of Congress; Donald L. Smith, Vice Chairman, MWH Global, provider of comprehensive management services and primarily in the wet infrastructure sector; Scott S. Slater, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, whose legal practice emphasizes negotiation and strategic planning for clients seeking to secure new water supplies and assisting to meet objectives for reliability and sustainability; and Dr. Joan Brunkard, the lead drinking water epidemiologist in the Division of Parasitic Diseases, National Center for Zoonotic, Vectorborne and Enteric Diseases at Centers for Disease Control.
An impressive group!

I will be there - hope to see you there, too!
[Shill alert: I contributed financially to this event on behalf of Oregon State University; the American Water Resources Association, on whose board I sit, is also a co-sponsor.]
