With 60% of Southern California’s water resources facing uncertainty, collaboration and investment in reliable infrastructure are more important than ever. The result? A unified Water Urgency Declaration, signed by all attendees, outlining a shared vision for California’s water priorities through 2075.

For SCWC Executive Director Charley Wilson, the message is simple: Educate to advocate. How do we reach more people, build awareness, and turn important conversations into action? By engaging with legislators, connecting with communities, sharing information, and making sure more Californians understand what’s at stake. From discussions on Sacramento’s policy priorities to conversations about reaching and engaging new audiences, the focus remains on building relationships and strengthening the collective voice behind California’s most pressing challenges. As we look toward 2027, we’re excited to continue growing our coalition, expanding awareness, and bringing more voices to the table. There’s strength in numbers, and we hope you’ll be part of the conversation as we work toward real solutions for California! #cawater

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗻? | 𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆, 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 Big challenges require bold thinking, meaningful collaboration, and a willingness to move beyond business as usual. SCWC Executive Director Charley Wilson is in Napa Valley this week, joining approximately 100 leaders from across California for the New California Coalition’s 3rd Annual Fall Investor Convening. The conversations are focused on some of California’s most pressing challenges, including water, housing, and energy, and how to develop proactive, focused, data-driven solutions that deliver real results. For Charley, one message stands out: California can’t afford to keep approaching today’s challenges with yesterday’s playbook. It’s about learning from past experiences, bringing different perspectives to the table, and finding ways to move beyond political differences to solve real problems. And when it comes to water, the urgency couldn’t be greater. Elevating water as a statewide priority and turning that urgency into meaningful action will require collaboration across industries, agencies, and communities. We’re excited about the relationships being built in Napa Valley and the opportunity to work alongside the New California Coalition over the next year to help turn forward-thinking conversations into lasting change. Because California doesn’t just need more conversations about its challenges. It needs solutions.
