Announcing the Launch of the New WPI Member Forum
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news—WPI has officially launched our new members-only forum! This platform is designed to foster deeper member engagement, build lasting connections, and strengthen our global community of water and wastewater professionals.
At WPI, we are committed to building bridges across oceans, states, provinces, and countries. The new forum embodies this mission by offering a dynamic space for our members to connect, collaborate, and share ideas. Whether you’re looking to engage with peers in your committee, spark conversation on industry topics, or exchange insights across jurisdictions, the forum provides a central hub for meaningful dialogue.
A Purpose-Built Space for Connection
Developed in partnership with WebSpec, the WPI Forum was carefully crafted with our members in mind. Each thread is tailored to foster discussion among specific committees and interest groups, making it easier than ever to find relevant conversations and stay informed.
We see this as more than just a forum—it’s a community hub, a knowledge center, and a place for innovation and support. By creating a dedicated space for interaction, we hope to streamline communication and inspire productive collaboration across our diverse membership.
Voices Behind the Forum
Two members of the WPI team who helped bring this project to life share their excitement about what lies ahead:

“We operate in a unique space within the industry and strive to be a central hub for members, operators, and educators. Community has always been a top priority for WPI, and that’s why the launch of our forum is so exciting! It’s been a rewarding experience to develop a site that connects committees, facilitates information sharing across jurisdictions, and sparks impactful conversations. I’m eager to see how this evolves!”
Maddie Christensen, Engagement Strategist:
“As an international organization, having a dedicated space where our members can connect, collaborate, and share ideas is essential. I’m thrilled to see this forum become a gathering place for some of the most passionate and insightful professionals in our industry. My hope is that members see the vast potential of this platform—for knowledge-sharing, problem-solving, and building community. This is just the beginning of something truly powerful.”
