Welcome to our Women in Water page! This is a dedicated space for the trailblazing women who are making waves in the water and utility industry. We aim to empower, inspire, and connect women within our industry, celebrating their achievements and promoting opportunities for development and growth.
The Women in Water initiative recognizes the increasing number of women entering the water/wastewater industry and endeavors to foster an environment of connection, camaraderie, and mentorship. We believe that uniting a powerful group of women can significantly impact the industry in positive, transformative ways.
As part of our commitment to supporting women in the industry, we host various events and activities throughout the year that offer the chance to network, share experiences, learn from industry leaders, and be part of an inspiring community.
Whether you’re just starting in the industry or you’re a seasoned professional, Women in Water is here to offer support, opportunities, and a platform to make your voice heard.
Women in Water is more than an initiative; it’s a movement. We are excited to have you with us as we shape the future of the water and utility industry together.
If you have any questions or suggestions, we would love to hear from you. Contact us at admin@womeninwater.us. Together, we can make a difference!
