The ACWWA Emerging Leaders Committee brings together early-career professionals from across the water and wastewater sector, including engineers, researchers, technical specialists, sales professionals, and managers. The committee’s goal is to connect emerging leaders through networking, professional development, and volunteer opportunities that support career growth and encourage active involvement in the industry. While the committee is primarily geared toward professionals with less than 10 years of industry experience and those under 35, it welcomes participation from individuals at all career stages.

Member Involvement Director: Andrew Burgess, NS

Emerging Leader Chair: Helena Steeves, NS

The committee organizes social networking events throughout the year. Past activities have included pub nights, conference events, curling and bowling. 

The EL committee is very active in fundraising for Water for People and other local charities during the annual conference, running the 50/50 sales and silent auction and supporting the fun run.
