About Us

The ACWA Foundation and its Board of Trustees operate separately and independently from ACWA and its Board of Directors. The inaugural, nine-member Board of Trustees was ratified on Nov. 18, 2022. The Board of Trustees represents a diverse cross-section of the water industry and other leaders. The Trustees recently developed a Strategic Plan, and are now connecting with key partners, raising funds, and creating opportunities for involvement.
