View the recording here. Event details about speaker are below.

Water projects are six times more efficient when women are part of the team, and yet there are still massive gaps in employment of women within the water sector. We need women to help create water solutions for communities, businesses, and the environment to get the clean, sustainable water they need to be resilient. This is particularly true for jobs that are onsite or that require a strong science background. How can we help women colleagues join and remain in the water sector? 

For women to stay and remain active in the water sector strongly depends a support network–particularly both men and women colleagues. So, that means we all have a role to play. How can you best support your women colleagues? Join us to learn what you can do now and in the long-term.
