French Broad Riverkeeper, Anna Alsobrook, will be a panel moderator at this year’s Emerging Issues Forum. The 2026 Emerging Issues Forum will convene policymakers, experts and other stakeholders to explore solutions to pressing challenges facing North Carolina’s water infrastructure.
Water impacts different regions of the state in unique ways. IEI will hold the forum simultaneously in Asheville, Winston-Salem, and Morehead City to provide local leaders and community members with an opportunity to connect on this important topic.
Join us on Feb. 25, 2026, as we celebrate 40 years of connecting North Carolina to ideas and North Carolinians to each other.
This is the second forum in the 2025-2027 Future Forward Infrastructure series.
