Fall Convention & Board Meeting

Pittsburgh, PA
October 20-22, 2021

Join your fellow AWO members as we travel to Pittsburgh for the 2021 Fall Convention & Board of Directors' Meeting!

 
This event offers AWO members the chance to discuss industry and association issues, hear from key industry leaders, and network with fellow AWO members.  Additionally, we encourage all member attendees to attend the Board Meeting on Thursday! As a member-led association, it is vital that every member take a responsible role in the governance of the Association. The Board Meeting is open to all members of AWO.
 
Please note that AWO events are open to all AWO members; you must be an employee of an AWO member company to attend.  We encourage all employees of member companies to attend!  If you are interested in attending and are not currently an AWO member, please contact Anne Fazzini (afazzini@americanwaterways.com) to assist you.
 
Board members: To ensure the presence of a quorum, please provide your RSVP for this meeting via BoardEffect, if you have not already done so. Please contact Vanessa Nuñez at vnunez@americanwaterways.com with any questions about the Board meeting or BoardEffect.

AWO is committed to the safety, health, and well-being of all event attendees. For the safety and security of all attendees, we ask that attendees either be vaccinated against COVID-19 or obtain a negative test within 72 hours of arrival. Additionally, we will adhere to any applicable federal, state and local rules and regulations and follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and encourage all attendees to do likewise.
