Luncheon Keynote Speaker

George S. Hawkins, Esq

Moonshot Missions
Founder and CEO

George Hawkins launched his innovation-focused non-profit enterprise Moonshot Missions after stepping down as CEO of DC Water, where he served for eleven years. George helps agencies identify and adopt strategies to deliver better service and lower cost, with a focus on small and under-resourced communities and water utilities.

In 2023, Moonshot was selected by USEPA to serve as one of four national Environmental Finance Centers to help communities access federal funding. Moonshot in 2024 assisted 131 communities of every size and demographic, impacting more than 10 million people in 31 states, 2 territories, 6 tribes and all 10 EPA regions. 76% of these communities have less than 10,000 residents.

George transformed DC Water into an innovative enterprise while tripling its investment in clean water. DC Water’s innovations ranged from Green Infrastructure to a $500 million investment in clean energy. DC Water issued the first century bond, first environmental impact bond, and spearheaded programs to support low-income customers and provide for local workforce development.
George served for six years on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, which advises the White House. George is an Executive in Residence for the private equity firm XPV Water Partners and serves on the Board of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. George has served as a Senior Lecturer at Princeton University and an Executive in Residence for American University.
Mr. Hawkins also served as Director of the DC Department of the Environment and served as Director of non-profit organizations and held positions with the USEPA and the firm Ropes & Gray.
George is a popular speaker on water and environmental issues. He has been the recipient of many awards, including Global Water Intelligence’s list of top 20 transformational leaders in the water industry, the AWWA’s Fuller Award, Governing Magazine’s Public Official of the Year in 2015, WEF Public Official of the Year in 2016, and the Water Leader of the Year Prize in 2017. DC Water was awarded the US Water Prize in 2016.
He graduated from Princeton University (Summa Cum Laude) and from Harvard Law School (Cum Laude). He is married to Natalie Hawkins, which is a colleague at Moonshot Missions, and whom he helped raise five children. He has been both a small farmer and funk bassist and loves the outdoors.
