Nevada Water Resources Association
Program Committees
Nevada Water Resources Association has programming committees as part of our role to provide relevant educational opportunities. These committees offer opportunities for Nevada's water resource professionals to develop meaningful training ideas that highlight their expertise within the community.
These groups help craft events designed to improve the transmission of knowledge and strengthen professional ties among members. Get ready for engaging tours, workshops, presentations, webinars, and panel discussions that confront the latest challenges and explore technological advancements in water management.
We warmly invite all NWRA members to join and lead these committees. It’s a wonderful opportunity to shape the events available to Nevada’s water professionals and truly make an impact in our state. Come be a part of something big!
