Navigating the water industry as a new professional can be extremely challenging. Hearing from experienced professionals who have been in similar positions is an excellent way to learn about best practices and refine career goals. Please join us for a Career Development Panel for an opportunity to learn from four experienced professionals in our industry. The panelists will give insight to their careers, provide guidance to less experienced engineers, and reflect on things they’d do differently as emerging professionals.

Our Distinguished Panel includes:
