ACE17 GAVEL PASSING - Meet and Greet Replaced with Wrap Party
Our Section's very own Brenda Lennox will begin her term as AWWA President this June at the conclusion of ACE17 in Philidelphia.
Lennox will accept the gavel at the ACE17 Wrap Party on Wednesday night, June 14 as the association celebrates the conclusion of our annual exhibition. We want to see a huge turn out from PNWS at this party to support Brenda. Because of this we will not be holding our usual pre-ACE Meet and Greet on Sunday that we have traditionally held. Instead we want to encourage everyone to stick around for the Wednesday evening wrap party at the Fieldhouse!

Available for download on both the AWWA and WEF
websites
, the full suite of materials will be rolled out over the coming weeks. The first materials that are currently available are five infographics, broken down by region, that depict the state of water infrastructure in the United States.
