Latest SIWW Diary Entries

A night at the Marina Barrage. A beautiful view. An exceptional crowd.

Crowds mingle at the Dinner and enjoy the varied culinary delights!

The 2010 SIWW Appreciation Dinner was another great success!  This year the event was held at the Marina Barrage. With a stunning view and an exceptional crowd, the attendees of the dinner were given one last chance to reflect back on the successes of this year’s event.

As I've written before, the Marina Barrage is such an impressive facility - here it is lit-up at night

James and I, the Black & Veatch Leadership Interns stationed here in the Singapore Office, had successes of our own.  With the opportunity to attend most of SIWW, we learned the vastness of the water industry.  Even

more astonishing to us was the close-knit nature of such a large community.  Old friends pick-up right where they left off last year at SIWW.

A beautiful view over Marina Bay to end such a great learning experience this summer in Singapore

Taking the advice of the B&V Chairman, President and CEO, Len Rodman, James and I have been and will continue to soak up as much as we can. We are thankful that Mr. Rodman and Mr. Dan McCarthy, B&V Water CEO and the creator of the Black & Veatch Water Leadership Experience, afforded us the opportunity to experience such a knowledge-rich environment.

All-in-all, it has truly been an exceptional summer working in the Singapore community of Black & Veatch.

Share your memorable experiences here as a comment.  And enjoy our pictures taken at the event on Tuesday 27 July also.
