Our monthly dinner meetings provide opportunities for professional networking with our sponsors and members, to discuss statewide issues, and to attend a training seminar.

The NSJS has an annual June joint section meeting with the Sacramento Area Section, and participates in an annual golf tournament. Look for the tournament event write up in our newsletter. This year, Northern San Joaquin Section scheduled a joint section meeting with Central San Joaquin Section during the month of October. The meeting was a great success, and we plan to make this an annual event. The NSJS Board of Directors host annual events each year during the summer months for the membership and their families. CWEA & WEF Awards ProgramThe purpose of the annual awards is to recognize outstanding professional achievements in the wastewater field; to improve the professional status of all personnel working in the wastewater industry and related fields; stimulate public awareness of the importance of wastewater treatment to public health and water environment. The 2006 committee chair, Mark Von Aspern, has reviewed submitted nominations from our local section members. The nomination packets were submitted to the local chair by October 20, 2006.
