GAWP Biography
The Georgia Association of Water Professionals (GAWP) is a
not-for-profit professional Association founded in 1932 and has grown
into a membership of well over 5,000 operators, owners, contractors,
manufacturers' representatives, engineers, elected officials, industry
representatives and others concerned with Georgia's water resources.
The GAWP is affiliated with several professional organizations, including the Water Environment Federation, American Water Works Association, American Backflow Prevention Association, American Water Resources Association, Georgia Ground Water Association, and the Georgia Water Wise Council. Each of these organizations has active participation in GAWP through their respective State Chapters and is represented on the GAWP Board of Directors (thirty-nine standing members in total). GAWP believes affiliation with these organizations significantly enhances education, information exchange, and networking opportunities for all of Georgia's water professionals.
GAWP is dedicated to exceptional professional education, dissemination
of sound technical principles and scientific information, increased
public understanding, and promotion of valid public laws and programs.
Our chief purpose is to assist those who have an interest in water,
wastewater, and related topics in the State of Georgia. GAWP holds four
major technical conferences over the course of the year and conducts
Georgia's second largest professional meeting with over 1,500 attendees.
In addition, the Association hosts or co-sponsors numerous specialty
workshops across the state and the southeast. GAWP is divided into nine
geographic Districts, with each District having an appointed Director
and an Assistant. We believe personal contact is critical to maintaining
a healthy Association and local assistance is achieved via direct
support from these eighteen volunteers. They, along with eight
full-time GAWP employees, deliver exceptional member support services
and strive to further Georgia water professional's merit and value on a
daily basis.
