If You’re Not at the Table, You’re on the Menu – The Power of Industry Alignment

Federal mitigation policy doesn’t stand still—and neither should your involvement.

Individually, mitigation banks operate within their service areas. Together, we shape an entire industry.

From improved opportunities for mitigation bank credits (like the recently-announced memo on Corps dredging)to the challenges of maintaining high standards for environmental offsets (like the recently announced State-run ILF)– the policy decisions made today will continue to shape our markets and our environment for years to come.

NEBA ensures that mitigation bankers are not just reacting to policy—but instead, helping to define it.

Through coordinated advocacy, formal comments, and direct engagement with agencies, NEBA brings real-world banking experience into federal decision-making.

If your business depends on mitigation credits, your voice belongs in these conversations.

NEBA creates alignment across regions, banks, and stakeholders—ensuring consistent messaging, shared priorities, and stronger outcomes.

This alignment is critical when addressing:

  • Regulatory consistency
  • Credit integrity
  • Market transparency
  • Long-term sustainability of mitigation banking

Membership isn’t just about individual benefit—it’s about strengthening the system that supports us all.
