THERE ARE MANY AND THESE ARE A FEW By Shannon K. McCarthy
There are many and these are a few of the dynamic women of our industry. We acknowledge and thank specifically the 16 women who participated in the IDA 2nd Biennial Water Reuse and Recycling Conference held, in cooperation with AEDyR, this June in Valencia, Spain. In this, the first article on the subject, we also want to recognize all the women in our industry for the many roles they have: government ministers and managers; utility and corporate executives and managers; association, and academic leaders; engineers; operators; technical experts; professors; marketing and communication gurus; and the list continues. It is important that we acknowledge and communicate the achievements and contributions of the women in our industry and identify some of the special benefits that women can bring to the industry. IDA publicly expresses its gratitude to these women for their support and participation in our conference.
