CDAWG becomes SWAG!

Official Agenda | 2025 SWAG PowerPoint DAY 1 | 2025 SWAG PowerPoint DAY 2

For more than 35 years, the Mojave Desert AQMD's annual conference has been known as the California Desert Air Working Group (CDAWG) conference.

In 2025, that changes. CDAWG has officially become the South Western Air Group, or SWAG.

"With the continued growth of our conference, especially over the last 10 years, we felt it was time that the name of this event should represent all that we cover in each session," said Brad Poiriez, MDAQMD Executive Director and Air Pollution Control Officer. "This has truly become bigger than the California desert air districts our conference originally included, and every year we continue to expand our reach and our audience."

 As has long been the case with this conference, all proceeds from SWAG go to support the Mojave Environmental Education Consortium (MEEC), a 501(c)(3). MEEC’s mission is to train teachers and develop standards-based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and environmental education resources for the classroom, tailored to Mojave Desert communities.
