TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
This is to certify that Mr David Snow served as Head of Communications at WaterLex
International Secretariat between the 1st
of May 2014 and the 30th
of September 2015. Mr. Snow’s
work consisted both of the development of a Communications Strategy for WaterLex and overseeing
the implementation of this strategy since its finalisation and approval by the WaterLex Board. This
included strategic planning, overseeing the development and upkeep of printed and electronic
communications, maintaining and developing the website, engaging in social media outreach,
alignment to other internal structures in the organisation, and managing an events officer.
WaterLex is an international non-governmental organisation which develops sustainable
solutions based on human rights to improve water governance worldwide. WaterLex believes in a
world in which water resources management and governance secure human rights and sustainable
development to everyone.
During his service, Mr. Snow developed the Communications Strategy for WaterLex, strongly
improved the WaterLex Website, initiated the social media outreach of the organisation, oversaw the
production of numerous key electronic and physical publications of the organisation, developed and
implemented a policy for events planning and implementation, oversaw the activities of an Events
Officer, and provided general transversal support for the communications needs of the organisation in
countless ways.
I have found Mr. Snow to be a benefit to the organisation, efficiently combining long term
development of the communications department with strong practical implementation skills. His
technical knowledge in the field of communications has proven to be invaluable as has his mastery of
the English language for editing purposes. Mr. Snow is open, flexible, pleasant to work with, and
maintains high professional standards.
I am pleased to share with you my appreciation for his work and wish Mr. Snow every success in his
future endeavours.

Director of Operations
