Once approved by the AWWA Executive Committee in March 2013 these new bylaws must be approved by the Section Membership at the 2013 Section Conference in Spokane during our Opening Session. Once approved at the Section level they will then need to be approved by the entire AWWA Board of Directors at their June meeting at ACE13 in Denver.
