National Conference a Great Success!
Each year, the quality of our conference program just seems to get better and better. I was thoroughly amazed by the calibre of our speakers and the depth of discussion. We managed a very respectable turnout as well and we have heard only positive comments from the...

I was recently asked to submit a response to WEF’s WE&T magazine asking me about, “how people are tackling water issues around the globe locally, and …innovative initiatives is your region undertaking to handle those issues?” Our membership is so varied, and our...
