Dear NJ PFAS Partnership Innovation Consortium (NJ PFAS-PIC) Members,

As a valued member of the New Jersey PFAS Partnership Innovation Consortium (NJ PFAS-PIC), I am pleased to invite you to save the date for the 13th Annual Jersey Water Works Conference, which will be held on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

Each December, the Jersey Water Works Annual Conference brings together more than 250 state and local decision-makers, water professionals, utility leaders, community advocates, researchers, and policymakers to address New Jersey's water infrastructure challenges and advance equitable, sustainable solutions. This year's theme, "Driving the Change: Shared Action for New Jersey's Water Future," highlights the importance of collaboration in shaping the future of water across our state.

The conference will feature a full day of programming, including a morning welcome followed by eight breakout sessions, an afternoon keynote presentation, and eight additional concurrent sessions. Building on the success of last year's conference, we also plan to continue advancing discussions around PFAS and emerging contaminants. Last year's PFAS Learning Lab brought together industry leaders for an engaging two-hour session and led to the formation of the PFAS and Emerging Contaminants Committee, which is currently developing a white paper to help inform future action.

I would also like to introduce Reagan Tangney, who recently joined New Jersey Future as Corporate and Individual Giving Development Manager. Reagan and I are working together on conference sponsorship opportunities.

If your organization is interested in becoming a conference sponsor, we would be happy to discuss the available opportunities. Jersey Water Works conference sponsors also serve as Sustaining Members, providing critical support that enables the collaborative to continue convening leaders from across New Jersey to address water infrastructure and stormwater management challenges. We are grateful for the continued support of Dr. Atam Dhawan, whose leadership helped secure sponsorships in both 2025 and 2026.

For now, please mark Tuesday, December 8, 2026, on your calendar. Additional details, including the conference website, registration, and sponsorship information, will be shared in the coming months.

We hope you will join us for another outstanding conference and help make this year's event a success. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please don't hesitate to reach out.

We look forward to seeing you at NJIT in December.
