NAFSMA is public-agency driven.

Our members are local, regional, and state water resource agencies as well as private firms with water resource expertise. 

When your agency joins NAFSMA, you join a community of support. We’re built from the ground up to benefit public agencies like yours — and give you unique access to expertise.

Members share knowledge and work together. Membership connects you with peers at similar agencies, experienced water management leaders, and federal decision-makers. 

You get valuable conferences, webinars, workshops, monthly newsletter and members-only calls, plus time-critical policy and regulation alerts, funding opportunities, and more.

 

“State and local water resource agencies face increasingly complex issues as they collectively manage the nation’s water systems. NAFSMA plays a vital role in fostering dialog amongst member agencies, identifying common priority issues and advocating for federal policies and legislation that improve its member agencies ability to address the needs of the communities they serve.”
