Have you ever wondered how VA AWWA is able to provide so many services to its members and to the public? Each year, we hold numerous educational and training events, on topics ranging from information technology to laboratory practices to water resources. We host the VA AWWA Annual Meeting which typically draws more than 500 attendees and more than 50 exhibitors. We publish a quarterly newsletter and this website, promote safe workplaces, participate in the legislative and regulatory processes, support drinking water research, and encourage student involvement. We hold Top Ops and Utility Rodeo competitions that have produced winners at the national level. We raise money and participate in projects designed to provide safe drinking water to communities in need. Each year, we do all of these things and more!

Our ability to provide these services stems from the hard work of the many volunteers who serve on VA AWWA committees. VA AWWA encourages all members to actively participate in Section affairs, and this participation can best be accomplished by getting involved with the work of our committees. Your contribution of your time and talents to VA AWWA committees not only helps the Section, it also helps you get the most out of your membership. Active committee members have opportunities to gain a valuable network of colleagues, stay informed of important news, and develop leadership and teamwork skills, all while furthering a cause in which they believe.

We hope that you will explore this section to learn more about our committees, their objectives, and how they are working to make a difference. We also hope that you opt to get involved and make a difference in VA AWWA. For information about each of our committees, click on Standing Committees, then click on the name of any committee.
