The Award is given to WEF Associate Members who have introduced new innovative products or services What does it take for successful commercialization? This dynamic related to the construction, operation, or maintenance of treatment session will answer that question. Speakers and panelists will present facilities. best practices in commercialization and provide insights on: 1.

With new and innovative practices such as energy neutrality and stormwater management, new skills and expertise are needed in the water sector. The jobs are out there; however, not many people know about them. This featured session will discuss ways WEF and EPA are working with non-traditional government agencies such as the Department of Labor and the Department of Veteran Affairs as a means to increase the awareness of jobs in water and demonstrate how skills from typical apprentice jobs and military experiences can be transferable to working in the water sector. Panelists include representatives from WEF, EPA, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. Workforwater.org, a joint AWWA and WEF project, will also be showcased.
