Volunteering

We Are the Champions of Wastewater

CWEA depends on over 350 volunteer leaders to help bring our mission, conferences and local events to life.  The amazing contributions of CWEA volunteers can be seen in our industry-leading technical certification program, popular conferences, growing membership numbers and a long list of programs serving wastewater professionals at every career stage.

Volunteers give back to help others in our profession and grow their own career at the same time. Many volunteers tell us they’ve built life-long friendships after volunteering for a CWEA conference or project. Members have also said volunteering helped them make professional connections that helped them build their career.
