Our talented Web Page / Newsletter Committee will be putting together the Conference Highlights, so check back soon. Also, we are in the process of installing all of the conference presentations on our web site.
We didn’t combine our Conference this year with the American Water Works Association, but there is talk that 2008 might be the year for the Combo Conference. If you are interested in being a part of history making or just want to get your feet “wet” in the wonderful world of HWEA / AWWA, please contact this year’s President, John Katahira at The Limtiaco Consulting Group at 808-596-7790 and join the committee or email president@hwea.org.
We would also like to recognize and thank once again the 2007 Conference Monetary Contributors and 2007 Conference Door Prize Contributors. We had a record high in the number of door prize giveaways that we distributed over the two day conference.
“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.” A Greek Proverb.
