Sitting alongside the head of the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, the leader of PowerCorps PHL, and presenting to a room full of national leaders in the infrastructure industry, Hopeworks alumnus Marcel Njighe-Tezeh wowed the crowd at the national TIS Workforce symposium this month in Washington DC.
The Transformative Issues Symposium on Workforce brought together water sector professionals from across North America to discuss the most important and challenging issues associated with workforce. This event featured presentations given by thought leaders and engaged attendees in facilitated discussions to help foster the exchange of ideas on this evolving topic of concern.
