It’s never too early to start thinking about applying for our preeminent water leadership program. Applications for the 2027 William R. Gianelli Water Leaders program, focused on California participants, will be available in October. This program starts in January 2027. The goal of the program is to build a network of water leaders from diverse backgrounds who will deepen their water knowledge, build their leadership skills and learn to take a collaborative approach to decision-making about water resources. Those interested should sign up for our announcements to find out when applications will be available and when we will host a virtual question-and-answer session prior to application deadlines.
