5S History
Pennsylvania started the High Hat Society in 1937 and used the words “Sludge Shovelers Society” in its initiation ceremony. Later, this became known as the Ted Moses Sludge Shovelers Society. The second Chapter of the Five S Society was formed in Arizona in October 1940, the idea being conceived by A.W. “Dusty” Miller and F. Carlyle Roberts, Jr. There are chapters in many of the United States and in Canada, as well as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
Every year, 5S inductees are tasked with collecting donations during CWEA’s Annual Conference. Help support the future of our profession! You can honor a recent 5S member by donating to the Kirt Brooks Scholarship below.
HOW ARE 5S MEMBERS SELECTED?
Nominations are accepted from individuals as well as Local Sections and CWEA committees. A select committee of Sludge Shovelers evaluates all the supporting documentation for each nominee. Only a few are selected each year. Selection is made solely on merit — it is not a popularity contest. This is not a self-nominating award. Your peers count on you to recognize their achievements and nominate them.
