The Water and Sewer Distributors of America (WASDA) Board of Directors reviewed and discussed several options for the WASDA Annual Meeting (Feb. 21 – 24, 2021) in Naples, Florida. In so doing, the leadership said it considered many factors, including participation levels, the economy, consumer confidence, travel restrictions, fiscal responsibility, potential liability, possible additional outbreaks of COVID-19, and the tenor of the attendee experience.

After careful consideration of these and other factors, as well as possible alternatives, WASDA has announced that the annual meeting will be rescheduled for February 6 – 9, 2022 at The Ritz-Cartlon Golf Resort Naples.

As registration for the WASDA annual meeting was not opened, there are no refunds of badge fees due at this time. Likewise, the official WASDA guestroom block at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort Naples was not officially opened prior to this announcement. Any reservations that somehow were made under WASDA’s guestroom block will be cancelled and deposits will be refunded. Those who made reservations outside of the WASDA guestroom block at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort Naples or at another hotel in Naples, Florida or the surrounding area, should contact the hotel to cancel their reservations.

You can join WASDA Dec. 2 at 11:00 AM CST/ 12:00 PM EST for a joint Webinar with the National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA). Learn about the latest legislation and strategies impacting the world’s most precious resource. Doug Carlson, CEO, and Zach Perconti, director of legislative affairs, will lead a robust discussion of what you can expect in the upcoming months and leading into a new Congress in 2021.
