Connecting local expertise to global water innovation
The role of IWA Governing Members
Governing Members represent IWA on the ground at national and regional level. They convene from across the water sector and beyond to support the sharing of best practice and the advance of water solutions. Through their role, Governing Members nurture and grow the IWA network, securing progress towards the fruition IWA’s vision.
Currently representing members in 68 of the 140+ countries where IWA has members, Governing Members reflect the diversity of the water sector at country level mirroring the breadth and strength of IWA’s global network. They strengthen the sector in their respective countries by helping to bridge divides between sectors and disciplines to create real change in water policy, water practice and water management on the ground.
Global leadership for water solutions
Shaping the water agenda together
Governing Members are led by committees of representatives from across a country’s water sector. They play a vital role in the Association through representation in IWA’s Governing Assembly. They are also instrumental in the staging of IWA events. Governing Members are supported by online tools, which help them to facilitate interaction amongst individual members and create opportunities to generate ideas and share best practice.
