WaterCitizen.Org is a educational and leadership development nonprofit organization for Water Professionals and Entrepreneurs who have big dreams, ambitious goals, and high aspirations to solve the biggest challenges impacting our water supplies, water resources, and the economy.
Using virtual as well as high-engagement in-person events, we work to attract, develop and ensure leadership opportunities for all who are committed to solving Water Challenges and, in the process, solving the Water Workforce Crisis!
We find that most Water Professionals are trained in an area of technical expertise and then may get on-the-job experience learning to lead larger organizations and teams of technical experts - but do NOT learn the basics of Entrepreneurship:
* how to create and test and communicate an idea to solve a water challenge
* how to find a market and understand their water challenges and how they talk and think about this problem and who is part of the decision-making process
* how to attract and educate, engage and enroll specific clients or customers who have the problem they solve
Whether you have an innovative product, project, program, policy, or practice, learning how to advance your innovation is essential for Water Professionals. We are, therefore, focusing our efforts on our Water Entrepreneurship programs and events under our WaterPitch!(TM) Brand.
We've built programs, events and media to create an ecosystem that thrives on
the principles of innovation, collaboration, and empowerment.
Our interactive online programs are designed to produce results while teaching invaluable skills for Water Professionals and Entrepreneurs who want to communicate, build community, and create an impact - especially online!
We provide unqiue online water media outlets (podcasts, summits, virtual events) - created by individuals with who understand the breadth and depths of the Water Industry and Water Professionals - plus opportunities for Water Thought Leaders to get their knowledge to their best audiences!
Our signature WaterPitch! events bring together the most innovative startups, top industry leaders and government agency officials, and water investors in a unique matchmaking experience, fostering growth and innovation for the industry.
