Background
The 2018 AMWA – W-SMART Experience-Sharing Forum, hosted this year by AMWA in the context of its 2018 Executive Management Conference (EMC) (http://www.amwa.net/event/2018-executive-management-conference ) and supported by AMWA and NACWA, has three main objectives:
- Expanding the AMWA and W-SMART Community of Experience and Knowledge Sharing on challenging issues facing the Executives of Water Utilities;
- Providing W-SMART members with access to a broader cross section of U.S. Water Systems;
- Integrating and expanding the opportunity to collaborate on issues of mutual interest for AMWA, NACWA and W-SMART members.
Following the EMC Conference and its site tour on October 17, W-SMART, NACWA and AMWA members are invited to participate in an experience-sharing and best practice assessment Workshop addressing the challenges of Resilience Building & Crisis management facing growing Climate Change Impacts.
Post Conference Workshop on Crisis Management & Resilience Building
