CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Value Of Water Program

THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 9 A.M. TO 11:50 A.M.

The Value of Water (VOW) Program at the Texas Water conference is a half-day session devoted to promoting water communication successes and best practices in Texas. This year’s presentations focus on the theme of MAKING TEXAS WATER RESILIENT. This unique session provides an interactive and collaborative environment for water education and outreach professionals across the nation, as well as any other water professionals interested in improving their relationship with rate payers and the general public. In 2015, TAWWA partnered with WEAT to embrace the “one water” concept and since that time the VOW Committee consists of co-chairs from the TAWWA Education Division and the WEAT Public Communication and Outreach Committee. Please join us again at the 2023 conference on Thursday from 9 am
