    We’re Looking for
    Corporate Sponsors
    for 2026

    2025 was another successful year for OCWA. A great deal of our success was built on the support we received from our Corporate Sponsors, without whom we could not have accomplished everything we all enjoyed.

    That’s why we want to offer you an opportunity to partner with us and become a Corporate Sponsor in 2026.

    There are many benefits for Corporate Sponsorship. Each month, select Sponsors are featured in all promotional pieces for that month’s Industry Insight presentation. They’re also prominently displayed in the slide show before each presentation. In addition, all Sponsors are recognized throughout the year on the OCWA website. They’re also given a page on our website dedicated to their company, with a writeup of their choice, along with links to their corporate website and the phone and email of their primary contact.

    All this for a donation of $750. This helps underwrite our many programs, and covers additional incidental costs incurred throughout the year.

    But act now! To be a part of this select group, you must respond by before the cap is reached.

    To become a 2026 Sponsor, signup here.

    For further information, contact Dave Jones, OCWA Treasurer, or Taryn Kjolsing, President.

    We’re Looking for Sponsors
    To Help Support
    Our Special Outreach Efforts

    • Emerging Professionals
    • Women in Water
    • Summer Splash!



    Outreach efforts for both Emerging Professionals and Women in Water have met with great success! Whether its panel discussions, facility tours, or social events for networking, the response has been tremendous, proving those who participate share our enthusiasm.

    And not surprisingly, there’s a great deal of enthusiasm for home brewed beer, as well, especially when it’s crafted by local water industry brewers using water from OCWD’s Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS), the world’s largest system for indirect potable reuse! Our Summer Splash tasting event has been an annual favorite for years.

    These special events all have undeniable appeal throughout the Orange County water community. We hope select corporations and public agencies will choose to partner with us to help realize our goals in 2026.

    Many benefits will accrue to our Sponsors, of course. For each event, select sponsors will be featured in all our promotional pieces for the event. They’ll also be prominently acknowledged at the event, and when possible permitted to make appropriate remarks to the group. In addition, all Sponsors are recognized throughout the year on the OCWA website and at our monthly Industry Insight presentations.

    All this for a donation of $500. You can choose which program you wish to support, be it Summer Splash, Women in Water, or Emerging Professionals.

    But act now! Plans are already in the works for exciting events.

    To become a 2026 Sponsor, signup at the link above.
