By Drew Viguet, NALC Communications & Special Projects Coordinator
Whether you’re a student, attorney, farmer, or policymaker on Capitol Hill – there’s something for you at the Mid-South and Western conferences. This year, both the 12th Annual Mid-South Ag and Environmental Law Conference and the 3rd Annual Western Water, Ag, and Environmental Law Conference are co-hosted by the NALC and the NASDA Foundation. Both conferences feature in-person and livestream options.
“These conferences are premiere educational and networking opportunities,” said NALC Director Harrison Pittman. “They bring together folks from across the ag industry and nation.”
Pittman notes that the NASDA Foundation has been a longtime friend and partner to the NALC.
“We’re honored to co-host these programs with the NASDA Foundation,” he said. “It’s a natural collaboration for us and a great way to continue growing both of these conferences.”
In addition to networking and informative sessions, the conferences also offer continuing legal education credit, as well as continuing education from the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. Additional details for each conference are below.
