Water: Rising to the Challenge
Water is Arizona’s most precious resource and one of its greatest challenges. Join Arizona Forward on Wednesday, August 5, for Water: Rising to the Challenge, a breakfast conversation focused on the policies, partnerships, and innovations shaping Arizona’s water future.
This timely discussion will bring together leaders from across government, water management, conservation, and infrastructure to explore how Arizona is adapting to changing conditions while continuing to support economic growth, thriving communities, and long-term sustainability.
The program will feature opening remarks from U.S. Congressman Greg Stanton, followed by a moderated panel discussion led by Russell Smoldon, Chief Executive Officer of B3 Strategies, featuring Brenda Burman of Central Arizona Project, Leslie Meyers of Salt River Project, Chris Kuzdas of Environmental Defense Fund, and Tom Buschatzke of the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
Join us at the Stone House Pavilion at the Phoenix Zoo from 7:30–9:30 AM for breakfast, networking, and a thoughtful conversation on one of the most important issues facing Arizona today.
