The member-driven organization is focused on addressing challenges faced by CIP Managers. The comprehensive agenda includes multiple roundtables with current topics chosen by the members, industry-leading organization presentations, group panel discussions, and utility member real-life case studies.

WHAT IT IS

Membership in the Water & Wastewater CIP Forum is by invitation only, focused on leaders of innovative, large-sized entities. Membership is limited to provide the member with the best opportunity to develop a true network of peers. The cost of membership is $1,000 per year.

Benefits of membership in the Forum include:

  • Complimentary attendance at the annual CIP Forum conference. For two (2) days, Forum members engage in interactive discussion in a small-group setting with presentations exclusively from other members. Because the Forum is invitation-only, members are able to share more openly the “lessons learned” from CIP projects. Please register for the annual CIP Forum below.

  • The opportunity for a second member of your organization to become a member of the Forum and attend the CIP Forum Conference also at a cost of $1,000.

  • A strong network of peers to call upon throughout the year. Because the water industry is a non-competitive environment, the successes and experiences of members can be, and are, leveraged by other CIP Managers. The CIP Forum members produce a steady stream of calls, emails, and other correspondence throughout the year soliciting and receiving input from their colleagues in other utilities.

  • Access to materials, surveys, and other documentation. This may include a simple peer-to-peer request for job descriptions to jump-start an organizational redevelopment or a review of CIP Forum survey data on vendors, salary, etc. Forum members are able to obtain a wealth of information that their utility would otherwise have to engage a consultant or commission a special study to obtain.
