While it has been rainy and chilly for us the last few weeks, the grass is turning green and the flowers are appearing. This renewed energy reminds me of the exciting activities taking place at The Water Council. I’m especially pleased that we are having more in-person meetings, hosting visitors from across the world, planning our first member meeting in two years and preparing for the return of our Water Leaders Summit in October.
We work hard to fulfill our mission to solve critical water challenges by driving freshwater innovation and advancing water stewardship. But we don’t work alone. This month, I’m struck by how many of our activities involve critical partnerships.
Buzz for our new WAVE water stewardship program, a student pilot opportunity, upcoming exports webinar and more in our February newsletter.
What a year it has been for the country, the water sector, the sustainability movement and, of course, The Water Council. Despite the many challenges presented in 2021, The Water Council made great strides in building on previous work and charging into new territory. Read more in our December update.
You don’t have to work at The Water Council to know that water has been front and center this month. Get caught up on our news, including our work with a PFAS remediation company, a new opportunity for non-water tech companies and the opening of one of our innovation programs.
Busy times for all of us, but for The Water Council team that has been especially the case the last several weeks! Read about our experience at WEFTEC, new members of our Board of Directors, a new membership program and upcoming innovation programs in our October update.
WEFTEC is a highlight of The Water Council’s year, and though the event looked different in 2021, that fact didn’t change. The Water Council has a strong presence at this year’s event in Chicago, co-sponsoring the Global Center with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation on behalf of the state of Wisconsin.
We are just a few days out from the start of WEFTEC, the global conference for water professionals organized by the Water Environment Federation. We are so excited to meet up with the rest of the water technology sector for the first time in two years to learn and network.
At The Water Council, we love to convene, connect and showcase our members. But this can leave out companies that aren’t part of the water technology sector but still want to support our mission of driving freshwater innovation and advancing water stewardship. That’s where our new Water Champion initiative comes in.
