Our Mission for the AWBD Emerging Leaders Program focuses on and develops our current and next- generation leaders of Water Board Directors and Consultants. Program leaders will help foster professional relationships and personal and professional growth within AWBD.
Our goal for every class is to enroll a class of 18-20 AWBD member district directors and industry members to participate. Applicants should have five to fifteen years of experience on a water district board or in a related industry.
