?? Help us spread the word about the #openposition on Team AWE!

Today, on the 10th anniversary of #ImagineADayWithoutWater, we pause to recognize the communities across the Southeastern U.S. that are experiencing the realities of what this day symbolizes -- how vital, essential, and invaluable water is. Lack of access to clean, consistent water sources is an existential threat to the well-being of our communities. The detrimental impacts of climate change feel particularly close to home today, and our hearts are with our members throughout Florida and North Carolina who were most affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. As we look ahead to the challenges that more extreme weather events pose, we are committed to supporting our members across North America, fortifying our water infrastructure, fighting for needed policy change at the state and federal levels, and carefully stewarding our water resources. ??: Chandan Khanna/AFP/Getty Images
