Air & Waste Management Association’s legacy of success is hinged on committed, engaged volunteers acting in the best interests of the members, the profession, and the organization. Every June, A&WMA’s Councils and Committees meet at the Annual Conference & Exhibition to discuss the important business of the Association and connect with one another in order to continuously improve programs and membership services. Everyone is welcome — plan to join us and make it your year to get involved with the rewarding experience of volunteering!
