UPCOMING EVENTS

2026 Washington Summit:

Bring Your Voice to Congress

Make this the year you head to Washington, D.C. to connect your business and chapter directly with lawmakers. NUCA anticipates the introduction of State Revolving Fund reauthorization legislation this spring, alongside broader surface transportation bill activity – making this a critical time to engage.

Join the New Jersey contingent traveling to D.C. to meet with legislators and advocate for our industry. This is your opportunity to speak on the issues that matter most to your business, share real-world insights, and help shape policies impacting the utility construction sector.

By participating, you’ll stay informed on key legislative developments while ensuring New Jersey’s priorities are clearly heard on Capitol Hill.
