You'll also be filling the exhibit hall with our stylish t-shirt featuring your logo on the back.

Women in Water Luncheon Sponsorship
Price: $600
The role of women in the water and wastewater industry is often underrepresented due to the field being primarily male dominated. According to the Brooking's Institute women make up only 14.9% of the workforce in the water sector, comparable with most trades.
Despite this, women often find themselves within managerial or administrative positions within the industry, meaning their small footprint has a huge impact. Therefore, this year we'd like to recognize the contributions made by women in the industry by hosting a Women in Water Luncheon.
As a Women in Water Luncheon Sponsor You'll Receive:
Marketing at the Women in Water Luncheon.
Recognition of your contribution in our social media and online marketing.
