I’m requesting permission to attend the CWEA Annual Conference, April 17-20, 2018 in Sacramento. This conference is the largest gathering of clean water professionals in California and provides me with the opportunity to build my knowledge base, grow my skills, network with fellow water professionals and learn/share success stories. CWEA has put together a great program.
