WEF Volunteer Service Recognition Program Returns

The Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) Volunteer Service Recognition Program will honor members who significantly contribute to the successes and achievements of the organization by serving on a WEF committee or in the WEF House of Delegates.

WEF’s Committee Leadership Council and House of Delegates started the program in 2017 to recognize outstanding volunteers. As many as 15 members will be recognized through the program and will receive service recognition pins during WEFTEC 2018.

“So much of the energy that drives WEF comes from our volunteers, who are as passionate as they are faithful,” said WEF Executive Director Eileen O’Neill. “This program is a token of our deep appreciation for the great impact volunteers have on WEF success.”

All WEF committees and the WEF House of Delegates will accept nominations through June 30. Nominees will be considered by a selection committee consisting of members from both the WEF Committee Leadership Council and the WEF House of Delegates. To be eligible for the recognition, nominees must

• be a member of WEF for a minimum of 5 years;
• serve in a leadership or substantial service role as an active member of a committee, task force, or workgroup; and
• contribute unique, innovative, or creative perspectives to a committee, task force, or workgroup.
