Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend WEFTEC, a gathering that brings together utilities, consultants, and vendors from across the water/wastewater industry. I was there as part of the Water Leadership Institute class of 2024 – a program aimed at developing emerging professionals in the industry. I spent the summer collaborating with 59 incredible leaders from all over the industry and learning from past Alumni (several of which are NWEA members). The program culminated with a team project and a graduation at WEFTEC.
When I returned, my colleagues at Stantec kept asking “how was WEFTEC?”. The most truthful answer – overwhelming. There are more events, presentations, and vendors in the exhibit hall to see than time to see them all. It was incredible to spend a week geeking out about wastewater with other people who are passionate about the industry. I encourage everyone to think about attending next year in Chicago!
