SWANA Advocacy and Policy

It is the policy of SWANA and its chapters to educate its members and government decision makers, and to advocate for responsible and practical public policy in support of the Association’s core values and mission.

SWANA is committed to sharing its members’ expertise and advocating for public policy that supports its mission to advance from solid waste management to resource management.

Core Advocacy Group

The Core Advocacy Group was established to encourage communication and collaboration across the different parts of our overall structure and ensure consistency among SWANA advocacy positions.  Delegates serve as advocacy leaders in SWANA’s Chapters and Technical Divisions.
