We are gearing up for an engaging Water Summit on Oct. 29 and also prepping our 2027 California Water Leaders program. Our 42ⁿᵈ annual Water Summit is the Foundation’s premier event of the year and returns to Sacramento October 29 with leading policymakers and experts addressing critical water issues in California and across the West. Conversations during the Summit will revolve around this year’s theme, Stewarding a New Era in Western Water, with a focus on emerging topics related to the challenges and opportunities facing water resource management. And if you’re interested in applying for the 2027 California Water Leaders cohort, sign up for a virtual Q&A session on Nov. 10 to get an overview of our popular but competitive program and tips on how to submit a strong application.
