Call to Action for Jersey Water Works Members
Help elevate your work, and the collaborative’s work, by announcing a commitment, or a new initiative or project, at the 2026 Jersey Water Works Conference!
By announcing commitments, Jersey Water Works members demonstrate their dedication to water infrastructure issues and combine their voices to show leaders across the state the continued importance of water infrastructure for our future.
We’ll compile all the commitments into a single list, so the breadth and depth of the dedication of Jersey Water Works members to the issue of water infrastructure across the state will be clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Commitments are new projects, programs, or resources that help advance the goals of Jersey Water Works and have not yet been announced publicly. Commitments can either be completed by the event or accomplished within the next year.
Need an example of the power of commitments? Check out the commitments made last year by Jersey Water Works members. Over 20 organizations, federal and state agencies, private businesses, local utilities, municipalities, practitioners, and environmental organizations, announced new efforts and commitments to accelerate water innovation in the United States.
The announcement of commitments enables members to reach a multi-sector audience through the Jersey Water Works network, which includes almost 4,000 local, state, and national water infrastructure leaders.
Here are some questions that may help you brainstorm for potential announcements:
- What are you working on already? Do you have a work item, report, or milestone that you’ve been working on that will be ready to announce in early December?
- What are you planning to do next year? Is your organization launching a new program, conducting a new research project, or investing in water infrastructure upgrades in the next year?
- What more could you be doing? How could you take your organization’s water infrastructure work to the next level by planning a new investment, project, or initiative that can be launched at the conference?
Commitments are organized into three tiers or levels, reflecting the different levels of resources required. Depending on the tier into which your commitment falls, you’ll receive a certain level of promotion at the conference.
