I have been a member of the Florida Section of the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) since 1983. I am so pleased to tell you that I am being honored with an AWRA Lifetime Membership Award on August 29th in Key West. I am the sixth member to receive this award.
I have served as Treasurer, Vice President, President and I have been the Chair of our Education Committee since 1995. The Section gave me another honor several years ago by naming all of our education funds after me. It is a wonderful multi-discipline organization of professionals in water resource fields. The National AWRA also has incredible regional and annual meetings. I urge you to try to attend one of the Florida Section bi-monthly meetings. The July meeting is next week in Key West, the September meeting is on the east coast and November will be in Ft. Myers. Please visit the web site at www.awraflorida.org. Water is an important and precious resource and there are so many talented people trying to protect and preserve Florida’s waters.
