Leadership

Our board of directors is elected by GMWEA's members at the annual Spring Meeting & Conference. The board is made up of operators of municipal drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities as well as environmental engineers, public works authorities, and other water quality technology professionals.
 
The board is elected by and from the membership, and we encourage members to apply for open seats!
