Celebrate Drinking Water Week!
Drinking Water Week is the time to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives.
Learn More
This program builds an individual’s capacity to lead others, support positive change at their utility, and positions a utility to better represent themselves as an anchor institution in their community.
These questions help us get to know you better and understand the vision you have for transformative change within the water utility sector.
We recommend writing your answers to these questions in a separate document prior to completing the form so you can look back at your answers. Please limit responses to no more than a paragraph for each question.
If you have barriers or challenges expressing yourself via a written response, please contact Lauren Steavpack, TWLA Project Manager at lsteavpack@awwa.org for an alternative way to submit your answers.
