In the interviews each woman provides a brief background on her education and professional experience and insight into her work and career. I hope you find these interviews as interesting and inspiring as I do. With this blog I hope to give a voice to women who have led and continue to lead so that women and men in our community can learn from their successes, hurdles cleared, accomplishments and motivation to keep moving forward.

This will be a series of six interviews published monthly beginning in June. And without further ado, my first two interviews:

Volume II of the AWRA Policy Committee's report, adds six case studies and two overview essays to the previous volume's eight case studies. Selected to illustrate a wide range of circumstances, geographic conditions and strategies; these case studies and analyses are intended to provide a better understanding of current flood and drought management strategies.

Mississippi is back at it after losing the first round of its $1+ billion 'groundwater theft' lawsuit versus Tennessee and its political subdivision, the City of Memphis and its utility, Memphis Light, Gas and Water. This time, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case, the first time SCOTUS has accepted a case that involves groundwater only. The decision rendered by the Court will resonate far beyond the USA's borders, as many water professionals around the world are anxious to see how groundwater management and governance might be influenced. Stay tuned!
