In this episode of the Florida Specifier Podcast, Ryan and Brett speak with Brewster Bevis, CEO of AIF, from the AIF Water Forum. This event, held annually for the past six years, brings together legislators and environmental leaders to discuss Florida's most pressing water issues. Brewster shares the origins of the Water Forum and its evolution into a key platform for addressing water challenges faced by businesses, agriculture, and citizens in Florida. They also discuss the importance of educating policymakers, particularly new legislators, on critical water issues through initiatives like Legislator University. The episode highlights the significance of balancing water use for business and agriculture with ensuring access to clean drinking water for all Floridians.

Listen in for a deeper understanding of how AIF is shaping water policy in Florida and how you can get involved in future events.
