The Region 8 Pretreatment Association was formed in August 2009. The Association was formed to assure that all of the pretreatment professionals within the EPA Region 8 borders are invited members, fully represented, and have an equal voice in the planning and other training activities coordinated by the Association. The core activities for the Association is to organize the Annual Region 8 Pretreatment Workshop, promote training and professional development and provide an opportunity for all Region 8 approved and non-approved pretreatment programs to stay informed. While not a member, EPA Region 8 will be a close partner in helping to plan and hold the Annual Conference and assure that the core activities are achieved.
The Region 8 Pretreatment Association is open to all who wish to be part of the general membership. There are no membership fees and there is an expectation that each member will provide input on core activities. The Executive Committee will be elected from the POTW pretreatment professionals that are members of the Association. In the interim, the decision-making for the Association will be managed by the Charter Members of the Association. These six Charter Members for this organization include a representative from each of the Region 8 states: Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. Their primary function is to approve the initial decision to get the organization formed and assuring that planning for the 21st Annual Workshop moves forward until executive members are elected by the general membership. | |
