“It has been an honor to serve as WEF president, and I am excited to see Paul take on this important leadership role,” said Keith Hobson, outgoing WEF president. “Paul’s dedication to the water profession and his collaborative approach to leadership have earned the respect of colleagues and peers throughout the industry. His selection as WEF president reflects a career spent helping utilities address some of their most important challenges. He has consistently demonstrated a commitment to innovation and service, and I look forward to seeing the impact he’ll make as he helps guide WEF and the profession in the year ahead.”

In succeeding Keith Hobson, Schuler will continue championing the One Water vision through WEF’s Circular Water Economy framework, while helping advance technical excellence and collaboration across the global water community.

“I am honored to serve as president of WEF and to work alongside the many dedicated professionals who contribute their time, expertise, and passion to the organization,” said Schuler. “The water sector continues to face both significant challenges and tremendous opportunities for innovation.
