What do members say about VA AWWA?? 

"As a consultant, taking advantage of VA AWWA’s networking and technical education opportunities are as vital as my project work. Staying ahead of the curve and making the right connections has not only been fun, but it has also been crucial to my career progression thus far."

News and Announcements
Member Shout-out - Supriya Murthy
Picture of the talented and beautiful Supriya MurthyVirginia Section AWWA has the greatest members and Supriya Murthy is no exception. Supriya is Vice President, National Discipline Leader (Sustainable Operations) for Arcadis and is also our DEI Committee Chair.
 
In her role at Arcadis, she helps global brands reduce risk, optimize performance and culture, and use data as an asset for insight and action. She specializes in designing and delivering programs on corporate governance, business intelligence, enterprise risk management, and performance excellence integrated with user-centric digital technology. Her enthusiasm for diversity, equity, and inclusion led her to volunteer for the VA AWWA and VWEA focus groups that eventually developed DE&I committees for both organizations. But VA AWWA was the lucky organization that enticed Supriya to join us and become our Committee Chair.
 
She hit the ground running and developed five workstream flows for the Committee which includes: Thoughtful Tuesdays, Publications, Industry Engagement, Community Engagement, and Mentorship & Allyship. Although the Committee is brand new, it has already garnered 28 members.
 
Supriya’s passion is evident in every committee meeting and our organization would like to welcome and show our appreciation for such a vibrant individual!
