LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUM - Early Bird Registration Rates End August 31

Registration is now open for our two day Leadership Symposium in Yakima, WA September 26-27, 2019. This symposium is designed to provide the management skills needed for those water professionals seeking career advancement. We will offer tracks for multiple levels of management including:
  • Becoming a lead or supervisor - what skills do you need to manage your peers?
  • Moving into mid-level management
  • Senior management and elected officials
  • Plus the annual Young Professional Summit will be taking place as part of this symposium
Our morning sessions will see multiple Key Note Speakers include George Hawkins formally of DC Water, Sam Davidson founder of Batch and Cool People Care and many more!

Afternoon sessions will include multiple sessions within our tracks listed above. 

The Young Professional Summit takes place Thursday of the Symposium.  Professionals under the age of 35 or with less than 10 years of industry experience should attend. All YP Summit attendees are encouraged to stick around for day 2 of the Symposium and join the rest of the attendees for great training and networking.  Look for the YP Summit meeting agenda on our website. 

You won't want to miss any facet of this unique training opportunity designed for water professionals who are moving into positions previously held by retiring baby boomers. 

Registration for members is just $250 for both days. September 1 rates increase to $300 member price. 

Just a few sponsorship opportunities exist. Register as a sponsor by September 1 so we can get signage created prior to the symposium.    Check out our web page for more information and the registration link. 

See you in Yakima in September!
