Larry Schweiger to Deliver Keynote at Spring 2025 Confluence

We’re pleased to announce that Larry Schweiger will deliver the keynote address at the Spring 2025 Confluence, taking place on June 6, 2025, at Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA.

Larry brings a distinguished track record in conservation, climate advocacy, and environmental policy. His leadership roles include serving as President and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, PennFuture, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. With decades of experience in both national and state-level environmental work, his insight into clean water and climate challenges is unmatched.

He has collaborated closely with national figures such as Vice President Al Gore, helped shape the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments, and played a pivotal role in the passage of the RESTORE Act following the BP oil spill. Larry has also authored two widely recognized books on climate and environmental policy, offering thoughtful perspectives on the future of our planet.

At the Confluence, Larry will speak to the role of local and regional leadership in responding to water and climate issues—drawing from his long career in conservation and public service.
