Women play a vital role in protecting public health, supporting communities, and advancing the water and wastewater industry. From operators, engineers, and laboratory professionals to managers, educators, and administrative leaders, women across North Carolina are making a lasting impact on rural water systems every day.
The NCRWA Women in Water initiative is dedicated to connecting, supporting, and empowering women throughout the industry. Through networking opportunities, professional development, mentorship, and shared experiences, we aim to foster a community where women can learn from one another, build meaningful relationships, and inspire the next generation of water professionals.
Whether you are just beginning your career or have decades of experience, Women in Water provides a space to celebrate achievements, exchange ideas, and strengthen the leadership and technical expertise that keeps North Carolina's water systems strong.
Together, we are shaping the future of water, one connection at a time.
