      Thursday, November 19, 2020 ~ AIWA Virtual Annual Meeting 

      The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Association Annual Meeting is only three weeks away!
      Please make plans to join us on Thursday, November 19th for this virtual, collaborative event bringing together our members and stakeholders to connect with the federal and state agencies who have leadership roles in managing the waterway. 

      This year’s one-day schedule will include sessions led by our industry’s leaders and practitioners covering a series of topics for all waterway users. Shifting to an online virtual platform has its advantages. Even though we all would like to see one another in person, we have the opportunity for increased participation and invite you to share this meeting with your colleagues as this is our annual opportunity to learn more together!

      Sessions will include:

      • State of the Waterway – Management & Maintenance Project Updates from USACE Districts 
      • Updates from our Recreational Boating Community – Boat US, NMMA, MRAA, and others
      • Beneficial Use of Dredge Materials – New Applications and Directions
      • Updates to Charting and Mapping efforts along the AIWW from NOAA
      • Marine Industry and Commercial Operators, Port Authority, Contracting Corporations, and Engineering Design

      Registration is available here for only a $75 investment.
      For those who have attended our meetings in previous years, you’ll know we fill our days with content, but we’ll be sure not to induce screen “burnout!” 😁 Also, all sessions will be recorded and made available to participants for one year.

      Thank you for your support and active participation, and we look forward to seeing you on November 19!  

      Sponsorships and group rates remain available.  Please email us for more information.

      Don’t forget to Vote! As a non-partisan Association, please don’t be alarmed by the headline of this article. This is a good news story. The AIWW maintenance funding is supported on both sides of the aisle! In this time of uncertainty, we want to affirm that both Democrats and Republicans have a history of supporting waterway infrastructure, and especially our waterway.

      Just this year, we had 19 U.S. Representatives from six states come together to ask for AIWW funding for the upcoming fiscal year. While the FY21 appropriation process is currently stalled, maintenance work is continuing and we are excited to see how we might fare once Congress resumes the appropriationa process after the election. As you vote, rest assured that waterway funding isn’t an issue that should effect your choice. Thank you to all of our waterway supporters and champions in Congress.
