Water Infrastructure Networking Summit (WINS)

The Water Infrastructure Networking Summit (WINS) is a tri-county event between Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County to bring awareness of the critical needs and funding opportunities facing our regional water and wastewater infrastructure. The Summit brings together leaders from different sectors as they highlight infrastructure vulnerabilities that impact our regional economy and communities. The goal is to facilitate a dialogue between regional industry leaders and officials from local, state, and federal government agencies to create a path forward through collaboration and empowered innovation.
