Thank you for a great 2025 CEDAS Annual Meeting & Best Practices Awards Ceremony

We had such a great time at Tyde at Walnut Beach in Milford, CT for our 2025 Annual Meeting & Best Practices Awards Ceremony! The rain and wind couldn’t stop us from honoring all of the awardees and celebrating the municipalities who earned their Best Practices certifications for 2025.

A HUGE thank you to all of our sponsors! We couldn’t do it without you!
