Why a Washington, D.C. fly-in?

More than a couple decades ago, the mitigation banking industry began its annual DC Fly-in. That event, FREE to NEBA members in 2023, is your chance to sit with senior officials from regulatory, congress, and beyond, to discuss the latest issues and challenges to the industry.

For those following NEBA’s work, you’ll immediately identify challenges that may represent ‘a clear and present danger’ for your business or the broader industry. For those following NEBA’s work, you’ll remember that we conducted the events the past few years ‘virtually’. In 2023 we return to Washington!

Environmental Banking is the only program proven to work, proven to provide reliable, cost-effective environmental offset for unavoidable impacts to our vital natural resources. Clear guidance, policy and law support our work and our industry. Unfortunately, threats today come not only from regulatory non-compliance, or regulator inconsistency, or permit slow-downs, but from some within the mitigation industry who wrongly claim to represent us in discussions with policymakers. That is why we must speak with one voice – One Trusted Voice – for the Mitigation Banking Industry.

This is the reason you should join us in our Nation’s Capital September 5-7!

 This year’s agenda is firming up and as always, will include meetings will key agency and congressional representatives, several opportunities for networking and even a free member dinner at the distinguished Army and Navy Club of Washington hosted by the former Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) Hon John Paul Woodley who is currently Chair of NEBA’s Board of Directors.
