Midwest Water Analysts Association

Midwest Water Analysts Association (MWAA) is a non-profit organization for professionals interested in environmental issues. Membership is free and anyone may become a member. The membership is representative of both the public and private sector and includes laboratory and other persons in water, wastewater, health, private industry and regulatory agencies. MWAA's mission is to facilitate the exchange of ideas, information and technology among members and others with similar concerns. Generally, three regular meetings are held each year (fall, winter, spring). Meetings in the fall and spring consist of facility tours and presentations on various topics of interest to the group. In January, the MWAA hosts its annual exposition meeting, at which numerous talks are presented on a wide variety of issues, and vendors are present to show and display their products and services. Meetings provide a forum for interaction and education concerning environmental, or more specifically, water-related issues. Midwest Water Analysts Association, formerly known as Lake Michigan Water Analysts, was started in 1965. The organization is operated by individuals who are willing to volunteer their time and energy to the MWAA. The officers, along with steering committee members, run the general business of the organization. The officers are generally chosen from the members who serve on the steering committee and who have thereby gained knowledge and experience with the operation of the group. Some of the group's officers serve two year terms in a rotation order of Secretary, Second Vice-President, First Vice-President, and President. The Treasurer presently serves in this position on an indefinite permanent basis.
