WCDA Committees
ADVOCACY COMMITTEE
The Advocacy Committee is responsible for coordinating the advocacy and lobbying efforts of the association.
BEST PRACTICES COMMITTEE
The Best Practices Committee ensures consistency of all technical documents produced by the association such as procurement guides, RFQ/RFP templates, contract templates, and our handbook and confirms that they adhere to best practices of the industry and are in alignment with the WCDA mission.
COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE
The Communications Committee focuses on promoting the work of all WCDA committees and ensures that consistent messaging through all channels aligns with the WCDA brand and mission. Providing a strategic marketing plan for all association activities and products and effective use of social media are essential tasks.
EDUCATION COMMITTEE
The Education Committee develops course materials and implements an education program in conjunction with the Best Practices Committee. With owner requests and needs at the forefront, the committee is charged with promoting best practices in collaborative delivery and generating that material for use in online and in-person education programs. In addition, the committee assists the WCDA staff with marketing strategies to promote these programs.

The Legal & Contracts Committee develops best practices and guidance material on available industry standard contract templates. They will also serve as a liaison to other associations (e.g., EJCDC, DBIA) to provide specific feedback on contract template updates for the water sector.
RESEARCH COMMITTEE
The Research Committee recommends and produces research projects that endeavor to benefit the water/wastewater sector and fulfill the mission of the Water Collaborative Delivery Association. The committee provides leadership, direction, and oversight of the defined technical research components as they are being developed.
