Farewell
by Andy Rudzinski
To the Members of MWWCA:
I would like to express my thanks to the members of Maine Waste Water
Control Association for the opportunity to have served as 2006
President. I am very proud to say I am a member of an organization
that represents wastewater professionals from all over the state of
Maine. The people of Maine are known far and wide for their love and
respect of the natural environment, and their willingness to go the
extra mile to care for it. MWWCA members are some of the hardest
working, most skilled stewards of the environment in the land, and my
hat is off to you all.
With Dave Anderson as President in 2007, I know we will continue to
promote environmental education for students by reaching out to middle
school kids with
the Poster Contest; at the high school level by supporting and
participating in the “Stockholm Jr. Water Prize” contest; and by
helping re-establish college level courses for those seeking to become
wastewater professionals. MWWCA will continue to maintain close
relationships with our law makers at the state and federal levels,
getting them the information they need to make informed decisions.
MWWCA will continue a strong presence regionally at NEWEA, and will
continue to work with NEWEA on projects that directly benefit Maine.
With the help of so many of you members, MWWCA will continue to
provide excellent training programs at the Spring and Fall
Conventions. We will support the wonderful “North Country Convention”
which continues to grow bigger and provide great training and
networking opportunities to all MWWCA members. MWWCA will grow our
relationships with other professional and environmental groups
wherever possible, and continue to work with state and federal
regulatory agencies toward our goal of protecting our water
environment and helping communities thrive.
Lastly, I want to say that nobody ever had more help as MWWCA
President from their Executive Committee, MMA staff, NEWEA contacts,
and rank & file members than I. Dave, I know you will enjoy your
Presidency and be a great success!
Thanks to all again
Andy Rudzinski
Immediate Past President, MWWCA
