Volunteering could be the best professional and personal investment you’ve made in years. Professionally, you will make valuable contacts, enhance your resume, and increase your knowledge of the water and waste water field. Personally, you can expect new friends, fun, and personal growth. Volunteering in ACWWA is also one more way to demonstrate your commitment to providing water and wastewater services for everyone.

There are lots of opportunities to volunteer with ACWWA both short term and long term. 

• Periodic – help out during the annual conference, be available 1-2 hours every so often if the need arises
• Small – sitting on a committee and be given tasks that might require regular attention such as 1-2 hours per month
• Medium – acting as a committee chair.  In this role, you would have a set list of duties and work under the direction of a Director.
• High – acting as a Director.  This role usually comes after you have been involved in another form.  This can be a very rewarding role.

Here are the areas that you can help with: 

• Membership
• Volunteer
• Government Affairs
• Education
• Emerging Leaders
• Water For People
• Communications (magazine, social media)
• Scholarships
• Technical Papers (reviewing submissions for fall conference)
