“Being a part of the Water Leadership Institute was an incredible experience. To have the opportunity to network with other water quality professionals from other parts of the country and beyond was amazing; I have made contacts and friends that I hope to stay in touch with throughout my career. Also, learning to communicate effectively has already proven to be highly valuable in and outside of the workplace. Participating in the WLI rejuvenated my excitement for the water quality field…” Christel Dyer, WLI Alum
