What a week! We just wrapped up AC24 in Sacramento, filled with insightful presentations, engaging workshops and tours, and incredible networking opportunities and award recognitions. It was inspiring to see so many wastewater leaders and professionals all in one place, sharing ideas and forging new paths for collaboration.
If you didn’t make it – watch for the sessions we recorded at AC24 that we’ll post to the OWEN online learning platform in the coming weeks.
During Thursday’s annual business meeting, outgoing President Chuck Greely shared his view of CWEA as his term comes to end…
Today I not only put my trust in you I put my faith in you and hope to shine even the smallest of spotlights on you. At our annual conference we are investing in you, the gate keepers of clean water, investing in your knowledge, skills, and abilities. Investing in your connections and relationships. Investing in a brighter more sustainable future for the generations to come.
Thank you for your tireless dedication, your unwavering commitment, and your relentless pursuit of a better world. And remember, no matter how daunting the challenges may seem, you are never alone. We stand with you, we believe in you, and we trust you to lead us toward a future where clean water is a reality for all.
For together, this idea of a sustainable water future against all odds truly is a ‘Mission: Possible’!

Here’s what AC24 Co-Chair Mindy Boele had to say,
I’ve been attending Annual Conferences since 2002. CWEA is like a family. We all face similar challenges, and sharing our stories with each other will help build a community that cares and supports one another. Over the years, I’ve been in leadership roles with the lab committee, both local section and at the state level, and I always feel the love and support of my fellow members.
