    This special "speed networking" social event will be a great opportunity to mix & mingle with other women in the water industry -- to make connections and share unique challenges & successes. All levels of experience are welcome.

    Among the topics we look to discuss are how to get our voices heard as a female professional in a field still dominated by males; what brought each of us into this field, the hows and whys for how we all ended up in water; and the lessons learned and the advice we can offer each other to ensure our mutual success.


      SPACE IS LIMITED!

    We’re Looking for Sponsors
    To Help Support
    Our Special Outreach Efforts

    • Emerging Professionals
    • Women in Water
    • Summer Splash!

    (formerly: Pure Beer:
    Home Brew Tasting Event)


    Our newest outreach efforts, to both Emerging Professionals and Women in Water, have met with great success! Whether its panel discussions, facility tours, or social events for networking, the response has been tremendous, proving those who participate share our enthusiasm.

    And not surprisingly, there’s a great deal of enthusiasm for home brewed beer, as well, especially when it’s crafted by local water industry brewers using water from OCWD’s Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS), the world’s largest system for indirect potable reuse! Relabeled this year as Summer Splash!, our home brew tasting event has been an annual favorite for years.

    These special events all have undeniable appeal throughout the Orange County water community. And as we plan to increase these offerings in 2025, we hope select corporations and public agencies will choose to partner with us to help realize our goals.

    Many benefits will accrue to our Sponsors, of course. For each event, select sponsors will be featured in all our promotional pieces for the event. They’ll also be prominently acknowledged at the event, and when possible permitted to make appropriate remarks to the group. In addition, all Sponsors are recognized throughout the year on the OCWA website and at our monthly Industry Insight presentations.

    All this for a donation of $500. And you can choose which program you wish to support, be it Summer Splash!, Women in Water, or Emerging Professionals.

    But act now! Plans are already in the works for exciting events in the coming weeks for both Emerging Professionals and Women in Water. And our brewers are gathering steam to craft this summer’s tasty offerings.

    To become a 2025 Sponsor, signup at the link above.

    For further information, contact Dave Jones, OCWA Treasurer, or Derek Kurtti, OCWA President.
