Save the Date for the 2011 Urban Water Sustainability Leadership Conference, in the World Water Hub of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October 3-5, 2011. Based on the success of last year’s Leadership Conference, teams of municipal leaders in sustainability will explore models that feature cross-agency collaboration for green infrastructure and resource recovery. The timing of the conference makes it an ideal meeting ground for discussion around U.S. EPA stormwater guidelines, due to be released in September.
In its second year, the Leadership Conference is hosted by the U.S. Water Alliance’s Urban Water Sustainability Council, chaired by Kevin Shafer (Milwaukee MSD). Members of the Council represent a network of thoughtful leaders creating new ways to improve the urban water environment while building local economic growth and advancing social equity. Council meetings are opportunities to share successes and strategize overcoming barriers to progress. Primarily members are water utility leaders, however leaders in related areas (such as urban sustainability directors, city or county environmental or planning directors, commerce leaders, business) are welcome. Council membership is free, although all are encouraged to join the Alliance as an annual or Founding member.
