With more participation, reach and impact than ever, you will not want to miss the 2019 National Water Policy Fly-In! As the Trump administration and 116th Congress turn their collective focus towards infrastructure investment – a bipartisan issue – it is crucial that policymakers hear directly from YOU about the challenges your utility, agency and community face; and that sound policy and robust investment in water are critical for all Americans right now.
The National Water Policy Fly-In Young Professional Scholarship program seeks to provide Young Professionals with an opportunity to participate in the highest levels of policy advocacy before Congress and the administration as well as to build professional connections with water professionals from the nation. This unique scholarship gives Young Professionals the platform to speak up and to help WEF deliver a message to Congress and Administration officials that sound policy and robust investment in water are critical for all Americans right now!
