The District 5450 WASH symposium is coming up on Saturday, October 25, 2025 from 8:00 a.m. – 2:15 p.m. at the CSU Spur Building (4777 National Western Drive, Denver, CO 80216). WASH stands for water, sanitation and hygiene -- these are long-standing concerns of Rotary clubs around the world.
The theme is DRIVING IMPACT: A Systems Approach. Discover how systems thinking can transform water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) outcomes across communities.
We’re thrilled to welcome Charles Fishman, acclaimed author of The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water, as our keynote speaker. Fishman brings a compelling perspective on the global water crisis—rooted in research, storytelling, and urgency.
The day features engaging panels, hands-on workshops, and collaborative conversations designed to equip you with tools to scale impact through a systems lens. Breakout sessions include:
- Urban-Rural WASH Systems
- Partnerships and Fundraising for WASH
- Healthy Schools & Institutions, Healthy Communities
- Future/Proofing WASH Systems
Connect with sector leaders, innovators, and changemakers in a space designed to spark solutions and deepen partnerships.
Be part of the movement to build more resilient, equitable WASH systems—locally and globally.
