This week, the city is welcoming 50,000 delegates, journalists, lobbyists and others for the Republican National Convention. I’m confident the visitors will leave with appreciation for our beautiful city and its freshwater resources. Last month, we welcomed a much smaller group to Milwaukee – the 2024 participants in our BREW 2.0 Post-Accelerator. Learn about that and more in our July newsletter.

Updates From Asia & More

The Water Council’s Dean Amhaus and Stacy Vogel Davis are in Asia for a visit to Phuket, Thailand, and Singapore International Water Week. Learn what else we’re up to this month in our June newsletter.

Hitting the Accelerator on Water & Energy

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since The Water Council and our partners were awarded $1 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a regional innovation engine focused on water and energy resiliency for manufacturers and utilities.

The time has flown by as we grow and refine our engine. And it’s about to start moving even faster, as preliminary proposals are due to NSF in August. I’m extremely proud of the work our Leadership Team of engine partners is doing and extremely thankful for all their time and effort to develop our engine. This truly could not be accomplished without them and all our collaborators. Read on to learn more about that and what else we’re up to this month.

A Flurry of Announcements

Spring has just begun, but we’re already thinking about fall at The Water Council. That’s because we just announced a major change to our annual summit happening Oct. 29 and 30. We also recently announced our BREW 2.0 cohort for 2024 and the opening of our spring Tech Challenge. Learn more in our March newsletter.

15 Years & Growing

It’s hard to believe The Water Council was founded 15 years ago. Today, The Water Council is a world water hub, working with companies and organizations all over the world to solve global water challenges through innovation and stewardship.

Growing Our Water Stewardship Work in Europe

We are pleased to announce that we have hired Joe Ferrara, an experienced business development executive, as our senior consultant for WAVE in Europe. Joe will help introduce European organizations to WAVE and contextualize program benefits for operating in Europe, particularly in light of enhanced reporting requirements such as the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

Growth & Renewal in 2024

As we launch into a new year, it’s an exciting time of growth and renewal for The Water Council. Learn how we are growing our NSF Resiliency Engine, innovation programming and water stewardship program in January newsletter.
