Water Quality & Treatment Technical Committee Leadership Changes
It gives me great pleasure to share with you that Ronit Erlitzki has accepted the position as 1st Vice Chair. Tricia O'Connell had been holding this position for several years now, excelling in various tasks, but has asked to step down due to workload and focus. With Tricia’s leadership and support as Peer Reviewer and Prime Sponsor, we have launched many initiatives and achieved several accolades, most significant of which are:
1. GAC Guideline
2. RO Guideline
3. Development of the expert panel for the 2018 Annual TC meeting
4. PFAS white paper
5. Authoring WUR section for the 2019 Thursday Seminar which earned us the accolade of “BEST TECHNICAL COMMITTEE”
6. Supporting and representing Beverage Institute for many years
Ronit, who was appointed 3rd VC earlier this year, has done a fantastic job of coordinating our PFAS workshop and white paper, and helping develop our 2021 TC session to a great extent. As 1st VC, she will continue to help us mold our committee in the years to come and step in as needed to help me communicate our mission to the steering committee. Tricia will now assume the 3rd VC role, continuing to assist us in the manner in which we have come to appreciate her!
Thank you both for your exemplary support!
