Open Call: Please Contribute Women in Water Profiles to Highlight CA Water Professionals

Profiles of CWEA members and non-members are welcome
Announcements

In preparation for women’s history month in March and California Water Professionals Week in October we are collecting profiles of women who work in the California water sector.

We are asking CWEA members, agencies, PIOs and HR managers to help us gather great profiles of deserving CA water pros. We will accept and republish profiles and photos from any CA water or wastewater agency. Self written profiles are also welcome! We love stories about our members.

Reasons to participate: Let’s celebrate our outstanding CA water professionals. The sector needs about 6,000 new workers each year. We need to build the next gen pipeline for success. By sharing your story, you’ll help get more people (incl women in need of a career) interested in this rewarding profession.

We are still gathering #womeninwater profiles. Submitting a maximum of three profiles per agency or firm is good.
