Water Research Foundation

The Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) required communications support to educate stakeholders on a number of emerging issues and to rebrand itself with updated materials and a new name that better reflects the mission of the organization.

We worked with the Water Research Foundation for 10 years, communicating in-depth knowledge of water research and emerging water issues including potable and wastewater treatment, water security, emerging contaminants, cryptosporidium, climate change effects on drinking water quality and quantity, water/energy issues, hydrofracking and others.

Additionally, when WRF sought to leverage their involvement in the development of water security measures, inform and involve the water community in these efforts, and obtain congressional funding for ongoing water security research, Sigler developed a comprehensive communications plan. We identified key messages, prepared written materials and trained spokespeople on message delivery of water security issues. Legislation passed to provide continued funding for water security research. WRF was able to secure additional funding needed to advance water research.
