WaterNow Alliance 2023 Emerging Leader Awards Ceremony
August 9, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us to celebrate this year’s cohort, who are advancing innovative, sustainable, and equitable water solutions in their communities!
This year’s winners have led projects pushing for Spanish-speaking support for utility customers, supporting outdoor water conservation initiatives in underserved communities, creating space and support for the Black community within the water sector, championing outdoor water efficiency, and integrating green stormwater infrastructure in schoolyards.
Travis Loop, founder and host of waterloop podcast, will be the keynote speaker and host of this year’s ceremony, taking the audience through the winners’ stories. Travis explores the progress and success in tackling water challenges in the United States by featuring people and projects advancing sustainability and equity in water.
The Emerging Leader Award is dedicated to celebrating and advancing mid-level professionals from backgrounds and identities under-represented in the water utility space, who are poised to take on leadership positions in the coming years. By recognizing the emerging leaders of today, we aim to support their growth while celebrating their achievements, creating a strong foundation from which water utilities can address the sustainability challenges of tomorrow.
