LUNCH & LEARN! 

Offered on the second Tuesday of every month (except May and October), these lunch-hour virtual sessions are designed for working professionals.  Inexpensive -- only $15 for members -- starting at noon and ending within the hour, the courses can be attended from anywhere. 

Tuesday, September 14, noon to 1:00 p.m.: Lab Sampling Procedures. Laboratory data quality is highly dependent upon sampling procedures.  This short online training will remind water/wastewater professionals how to properly collect representative samples for water and wastewater.  We will cover the appropriate sampling materials, preservatives, holding times, trace metals, organics, biological and microbiological sampling procedures, and more -- a complete review from the sample container request to the submittal to the laboratory.  

Credits: 1 TCH Water or Wastewater

Cost: $15 for GMWEA members, $60 for non-members (includes membership for 2021!)
