Join NAFSMA — Your Federal Advocacy Partner

When your agency joins NAFSMA, you join more than an association — you join a community of support. For more than 46 years, NAFSMA has been built from the ground up to benefit public flood control, stormwater, and water resource agencies. Our members have a direct line to federal decision-makers at USACE, FEMA, and EPA, and a collective voice that shapes the policies affecting their operations and communities.

Membership Benefits

Federal Access — Unmatched

NAFSMA members get exclusive access to federal decision-makers through members-only briefings with USACE, FEMA, and EPA leadership, annual partnership meetings, Congressional fly-ins, and webinars with federal administrators. No other organization provides this level of direct engagement for public water resource agencies.

Policy Intelligence — Stay Ahead of Change

Stay ahead of regulatory and legislative developments with timely policy alerts, bill tracking, and expert analysis of changes that affect your agency's operations and funding. From WRDA to appropriations to stormwater regulations, NAFSMA keeps you informed so you can plan and respond effectively.

Community of Peers — You're Not Alone

When your agency joins NAFSMA, you join a national network of experienced water resource professionals who understand your challenges. Our mentoring program, committee participation, and annual conference create opportunities to learn from peers, share solutions, and build lasting professional relationships.

Collective Advocacy — Stronger Together

Your voice is stronger with NAFSMA. We translate member agency experience into comment letters, Congressional briefings, testimony, and policy positions that shape how Congress and federal agencies approach flood and stormwater issues. Together, our members carry more weight than any single agency could alone.
