“It’s an absolute privilege to be awarded the CIWEM Presidents Award for a Lifelong Commitment to the Institution. Getting involved with CIWEM as an industry expert working with both the wastewater committee and the professional standards committee has enabled to work with like-minded experts across the industry and has given me so many opportunities to work with a wide-variety of people over the past 25 years.

“These many years of voluntary work have helped me to become the technical authority in regulatory monitoring and wastewater compliance that I currently am enabling to give back to the industry through CIWEM working with the policy community.”
