A Gorham resident, Rob Woodman, was recently honored at an event held in Tucson, Arizona called One Water Summit. Each year, the US Water Alliance celebrates recipients of the US Water Prize in eight separate categories.

Woodman was selected from a group of over 75 candidates and was awarded one of these eight prestigious awards. He received the “Outstanding Rising One Water Leader” award which is given to an individual who exemplifies the Alliance’s six main objectives. These include shaping culture, vision-setting, possibility thinking, trust-building and collaboration, innovation, and adaptive learning.

Through his work with Ferguson Enterprises as their Green Stormwater Solutions Manager, Woodman has demonstrated these efforts and proved himself to be an impactful leader. With increasing climate change and national water issues, the Alliance aims to find sustainable solutions for accessible drinking water and management. The eight impressive accolades are given to leading pioneers of this cause.
