The Pennsylvania Section of the
American Water Works Association was created during a joint meeting of
the Four States and Western Pennsylvania Sections at the 32nd Annual Conference
of the Four States Section held at the Penn-Sheraton Hotel in Philadelphia
on October 20-22, 1948.At that time and prior to 1948, Delaware, the District
of Columbia, Maryland, and Eastern Pennsylvania were members of the then Four
States Section. At this historic meeting, Eastern and Western Pennsylvania
elected to join memberships, thus creating the Pennsylvania Section. Delaware,
the District of Columbia, and Maryland joined together to create the Chesapeake
Section.
The Section has grown steadily since that time and currently
has 2500 + members.
The Section is governed by six officers
and a Board of Directors. Two councils, numerous committees and staff have
responsibility for planning and implementing the technical, management, administrative,
and education programs of the section. Members are encouraged to actively
participate in section programs.
The Section is divided into six districts to better serve
the large Pennsylvania geographic area. District programs bring educational
opportunities to members' local area and district trustees represent their
district on the Section's Board of Directors.
The Pennsylvania Section's annual conference, held in April
or May each year, highlights the activities of the year. Opportunities abound
in numerous technical sessions for education in all facets of public water
supply. Social events provide many opportunities to meet new people working
in the industry as well as renew old acquaintances. A manufacturers exhibit
highlights the products, services and new equipment available to water works
professionals and provides opportunity for additional communication. The annual
conference includes lunches and a banquet during which new officers are inducted
and awards for exemplary service to the water works industry are presented.
The Section publishes a newsletter four times per year and
conducts mailings to keep members informed of news in the Pennsylvania water
industry, upcoming meetings and educational programs.
Membership in the PA Section AWWA provides many opportunities
for everyone involved with water supply in Pennsylvania, including those who
are simply consumers.
