2026 Western Interstate Region (WIR) Conference

The NACo Western Interstate Region (WIR) Conference brings together county officials from across the nation to focus on pressing issues facing Western counties and our residents. Each year the conference is hosted by a county within the seventeen Western states -- Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawai'i, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming -- and provides attendees with the opportunity to interact with federal, state and regional policymakers, participate in educational sessions and take home tools to address challenges. This year, Maui County will host county leaders in disaster-focused workshops and tours emphasizing response, recovery and resilience.
