The Water quality section has been fortunate to benefit from the long-term commitment and leadership provided by Gregg Lomnicky. Gregg joined AFS in 1987. In 1992, he received the AFS Pro Pin for convincing 22 students to join AFS! He became a lifetime member and ran for office as Section President, serving from 2007-2009. Gregg has served the Section as treasurer/secretary for many years. In that role, he served as editor of the Water Matters newsletter and developed the Section’s first website. Please join us in honoring Gregg for his decades-long service to the Water Quality Section and AFS.
