“I felt the conference was a huge success. I felt it was extremely morale boosting, and I think it’s an event that would benefit anyone who attends. It reminded me of the importance of the work we do as water purveyors. I came back to the office and shared with all my colleagues all that I learned, as well as shared all the swag I received from the generous vendors. I quickly advocated for everyone to attend when given the chance.”
