We are pleased to announce that Matthew Maxwell, Project Engineer from Walcha Shire Council has been awarded the Water Directorate Conference Attendance Award to attend the AWA Enviro 2008 in Melbourne from 5 to 7 May.
This is the fifth year that the Executive Committee has offered this award and funding, to assist a worthy engineer with up to 5 years experience from a member Council water business, to attend AWA's 2008 national water conference.
The Water Directorate will provide up to $1,600 towards the cost of travel and accommodation and AWA has kindly donated a gratis conference registration also valued at approx $1,600.
This year three young water industry professionals nominated for the award and they were judged on their applications and assessment of the benefits to their councils and themselves of attending a national water conference.
Congratulations to Matthew. We look forward to hearing about your experiences from this year's AWA Enviro 08.
