“Our event opened with a powerhouse panel of national leaders and experts working on water and sanitation across the nation. George McGraw (DigDeep) led a discussion with Olga Morales-Pate (RCAP), Daryl Vigil (Universal Access to Clean Water for Tribal Communities) and Mami Hara (US Water Alliance) on challenges and opportunities in the domestic WASH sector. Our first workshop sessions on topics ranging from WASH access in unhoused communities to peer exchange programs and navigating federal funding allowed experts from across the WASH sector to share their experiences and valuable learnings from their work. Recordings of each session and corresponding notes will soon be available online.”
