On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, Trevor Burggraff and his firm, Hiser Burggraff Curtis graciously hosted the Environmental Law Network (“ELN”) Executive Board for its annual spring board meeting. In addition to ELN’s Annual Meeting, wherein all members meet in a selected member firm host city near the end of each year, the Executive Board meets in person once a year in the spring. This gathering of the legal minds is a work session dedicated to aligning priorities, growing the membership, reviewing progress and marketing efforts, and preparing the organization for the months and year ahead.

While much of the ELN’s work happens virtually, there is a clear value in gathering around the same table. Side conversations sparked creative ideas. Clarifying questions were resolved quickly. Consensus felt easier to achieve face-to-face. Networking happens organically.

As we begin a new year, we do so with clarity, confidence, and a shared commitment to ELN’s mission:

We are a network of leading environmental law firms across the United States and the world, comprised of the highest quality lawyers. We collaborate with each other and share resources, knowledge, and relationships across the network to enhance our services to clients.
