Sustaining Our Nation’s Water Resources: Answering the Call for Stewardship

The Horinko Group’s 2011 Summit
October 25, 2011 / University of Maryland, College Park

Three sectors played a pivotal role in setting the tone – the public sector, the advocacy sector, and the business sector. The Horinko Group welcomed a distinguished lineup of prominent actors in each of these sectors to discuss and reveal recent gains to better integrate and innovate. Our goal for this daylong series of panels was to establish a mark for what’s taking place today and what’s being planned for tomorrow. The summit served as an important conversation for anyone currently operating in the water world.
