Created to celebrate outstanding contributions to the global water sector by long-time Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) members, the WEF Fellows Recognition Program each year recognizes professionals who have made a lasting difference for public health and the environment. The WEF Board of Trustees has selected the following individuals as the 2019 group of WEF Fellows.
The WEF Fellows Recognition Program underscores WEF’s role as a valuable water quality resource, which is due in large part to the expertise of its diverse membership. WEF Fellows are recognized in various areas of expertise including, but not limited to design, education, operations, regulation, research, utility management and leadership.
