For the past 15 years, SESWA's Annual Regional Seminar has served as an important forum for stormwater professionals to learn about innovative stormwater practices from experts, build partnerships and share best practices. This year, after much consideration and resounding support from our sponsors and speakers, SESWA converted its Seminar to an online event. Thanks so much to our speakers, sponsors and registrants for your continued support!

The Seminar reviewed the “How, When and Why” of utilizing public and private partnerships as an innovative approach to comply with emerging stormwater permit conditions. The Seminar explored new methods that local governments are taking to develop beneficial relationships to finance, build, and maintain stormwater infrastructure and services. Workshop topics included:

The Key Principles of Successful Partnerships
Planning for Public-Private Partnerships
Exploring Funding Options via Partnerships
Using Partnerships to Create and Maintain Infrastructure
Legal Aspects of Partnerships and Model Ordinances
