The theme of this discussion is hope and water’s role in telling that story of hope. It was an honor to daydream what’s possible with George, who we definitely consider as a mentor and someone that has been in our corner since the very beginning. George mentions that water is often the measure of what’s wrong in the community but that it doesn’t have to be that way. There are so many opportunities to make our industry the bridge that brings people together such as new ways to look at funding, creative ways to build workforce development, and more collaborative ways to work together towards the mission of providing drinking water and clean water services to our community and neighbors. Plus you’ll never forget the name Raymond Coates after this episode— a story of inspiration and validation of what’s possible for the men and women in our sector. Let's work together and make water the catalyst for community transformation.
