National Hydropower Association (NHA)

The National Hydropower Association (NHA) is a U.S.-based nonprofit trade association that organizes conferences and events for the hydropower/water-power sector. Its flagship events include Water Power Week, which features sessions, workshops, and Advocacy Day, and Clean Currents. NHA also hosts regional meetings, such as the 2026 NHA Midwest Regional Meeting, which includes educational sessions and networking receptions. The association employs staff in roles like Director of Meetings and Events and Meetings and Events Manager, and its website provides detailed event programs, schedules, and calls for speakers, confirming its role as a conference organizer for water-related utilities and utility management audiences. While focused on hydropower, NHA's activities are relevant to the broader utilities conference intent, particularly for water/water-power and electric utility stakeholders.
