Due to the current government shutdown, the majority of our expert panel is temporarily unavailable. While they are eager to participate, their current availability requires us to postpone the upcoming Virtual Lunch & Learn: Federal Section 404 Aspects, originally scheduled for Wednesday, October 29, 2025.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will notify all registrants with the new date as soon as it is confirmed.
