Council Members

Council members represent a network of thoughtful leaders committed to their communities and the concepts of sustainability. They have a full appreciation for the value of integrated water management and work together to unite the new, 21st century “green” water policies and practices with community sustainability goals and a region’s capital improvement program.

Water utility leaders who have expressed a commitment to implementing green infrastructure, resource recovery, and/or other sustainable solutions to their local and regional water issues, as well as leaders in related areas (such as urban sustainability directors, city or county environmental or planning directors, commerce leaders) are invited to join. Civic leadership groups, NGOs, state and local governments, universities, private companies, and trade associations, are also welcome.
