Annual Business Meeting

Tampa, Florida (August 20-24th

The annual business meeting will take place during the annual meeting. Arrangements are still to be determined.

The business meeting of the Water Quality Section (WQS) is held each year at the annual meeting of the parent society. This is not an “officers only” meeting. All section members are welcome and encouraged to attend as are guests who want to get to know more about our section and what we do. We do appreciate an RSVP if you are going to come so that we can plan ahead. So email your President or Treasurer to let us know. If you forget, don’t worry, walk-ins are still welcome.
