“Kathryn Sorensen knows water! She is an inspirational speaker, a strategic leader, and exactly the right voice for this moment in water,” said AWWA CEO David LaFrance. “Her distinguished career in both utility leadership and water policy research has truly elevated our sector.”
Sorensen will speak during the Opening General Session at 9 a.m. MDT, on Monday, June 9, at the Colorado Convention Center.
“I hope that people walk away from ACE25 with a sense of pride in what they do as water professionals, ensuring we continue to support public health, economic opportunity, and quality of life in our communities,” Sorensen said.
