31 Jul 2025 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion WaterJAM Scholarships Jul 31, 2025 11:59 PM Conferences are important to everyone's professional development, and the record-breaking VA AWWA & VWEA’s WaterJAM 2025 conference is the place to be! That being said, not everyone in the water sector will be offered the chance to experience the amazing networking opportunities, demonstrations of new and innovative technologies, volunteering programs, and all the other benefits that WaterJAM has to offer. The unfortunate reality is that not everyone can afford to attend this conference, which leads to discussions about access and equity in who can attend. And that’s where the Joint Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee comes in; we are committed to addressing this inequity. The Joint Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is currently offering four (4) scholarship awards for people to attend this year’s WaterJAM. The scholarships we are offering are: Two Open Faucet scholarships for people who work in non-traditional areas of the water industry, including: Administrative Communications/Public Information Customer Service Education Financial Operations Human Resources Information Technology Leadership/Management Legal Safety. Two Women in Water Scholarships for women to attend WaterJAM. All of these scholarships will cover conference registration fees, hotel costs, and travel expenses up to $250. The application process is quick and easy, and usually takes no longer than 20 minutes to complete. If you want to be a part of change, please consider applying for one of our three scholarships. If you know someone who may benefit from WaterJAM, please forward this email to ensure they have an opportunity to attend also. But don't wait, the deadline is July 31st, 2025.
