These bright men and women are the future of our industry and we hope to expand this program to colleges and universities across the state. We also supported three Operations Challenge teams attending WEFTEC. OWEA covered the travel costs for our local municipalities to compete on a national level. This exposure and competition is something these teams work for all year long and your continued support makes it possible. Sponsors also help make our outreach program possible. We provide funding for schools to tour local wastewater plants and for various environmental and water focused festivals, like the Children s Water Festival and the Blue Herron Festival just to name a few. We also send industry professionals to career days and expos to promote careers in our industry. These are just a few ways OWEA is making a difference in our industry.
