NSAC’s 2025 WINTER MEETING

EVENT DATE: February 10th – February 13th, 2025

EVENT LOCATION: Washington, D.C.

NSAC Members typically gather as a full coalition twice annually: once in the winter to set priorities and strategy for the coming year, and once in the summer, to check in on work to date and re-evaluate strategies and opportunities to advance our priorities for the remainder of the year.

This Winter Meeting provides an opportunity to:

• Connect. Time to come together, build and strengthen relationships, share with and learn from one another. 
• Strategize. Develop or update campaign plans, identify engagement opportunities for all members, commit to actions.
• Advocate. Meet with Congressional & USDA decision-makers during our Lobby Day.
• Have fun! Enjoy each others’ company, good food, and good conversation.
