Registration is open for the U.S. Water Alliance’s 2014 One Water Leadership Summit, held Sept. 15 to 17, 2014 in Kansas City, Mo.
This year's One Water Leadership Summit offers insights and strategies for managing some of the biggest opportunities and challenges confronting communities and watersheds. Innovative technology, monitoring and modeling, regulation, market-based incentives, finance, and public awareness campaigns all factor into the mix. Attendees will learn from and discuss with water leaders successful strategies to reduce the threat of nutrient pollution and toxic algae in great water bodies such as the Mississippi River, crumbling infrastructure, water scarcity and water waste, habitat loss, and public apathy towards our most precious liquid asset.
Keynote speakers for the event include The Honorable Sly James, mayor of Kansas City, and Cindy Wallis-Lage, president, global business for Black & Veatch.
Spotlight Panels will feature cross-agency, cross-department, community and business leaders sharing their models of integration and innovation. Multi-disciplinary and geographically diverse presentations will demonstrate the flexibility of green infrastructure to serve a multitude of needs. Strategic Sidebar Conversations will tackle leadership questions in a conference format that will allow participants to sit face-to-face to generate new solution ideas. Attendees and presenters will reflect the scope of stakeholders needed to rethink and renew cities with resilience for a changing climate. Join water leaders, sustainability directors, transportation, parks and recreation officials, as well as business leaders, non-profit organizations, and regulators as they drive the paradigm shift for water sustainability.
The Leadership Summit is organized annually by the U.S. Water Alliance’s Urban Water Sustainability Council.
