I&D Champions

In 2019 American Water launched the Inclusion and Diversity Champion Network as an extension of the I&D Advisory Council comprised of nearly 200 employees who actively raise awareness about I&D and celebrate our successes internally and externally. I&D Champions encourage and engage other employees to be champions for inclusion and diversity at American Water. I&D Champions are the local I&D ambassadors that help foster an inclusive environment by relaying company values and coordinating cultural events. I&D Champions represent teams across the business.
