and leadership across the realm of water. And as well as being a source, it is also a global showcase for that expertise and leadership. It provides this showcase by giving recognition to the talented individuals and organisations within and beyond its membership who shape the direction of travel on water – those whose insight and imagination brings groundbreaking solutions to the fore, those whose passion and commitment propels them to lead, driving the policies, projects and organisations that deliver action.</p> <p>IWA provides this recognition of water talent in a range of ways. The most prominent of those are summarised below. Together, the individuals and organisations acknowledged form IWA’s ‘wall of fame’. But these are just the most visible acknowledgements. As a truly global, member-led association, all those past and present who have played their part, participating as members and contributing their time and energy in all manner of ways, whether through publications, presentations, or leadership and organising positions, deserve recognition for their role in building the IWA of today. Along with those recognised in other ways, such as through IWA’s programmes, events, or Specialist Groups, they all form part of this wall of fame.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="l-section wpb_row body-copy height_small"><div class="l-section-h i-cf"><div class="g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default"><div class="vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="wpb_text_column"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><h3>Presidential Roll of Honour</h3> <p>Of all the IWA leadership positions, that of President is, by definition, the preeminent one.

In this sense, IWA owes a debt of gratitude to its predecessor organisations. That rich history was brought together in 2022, marking the landmark 75th year in the association’s heritage, thanks to a dedicated project to set down IWA’s history. This gives recognition to those predecessor organisations and the dedicated people behind them, including the notable pioneers who shaped that history.</p> <p>Read about IWA’s heritage and the people
