Engineering Manager from the Upper Hunter Attends OzWater
20 March 2009
We are pleased to announce that Sione Holaafolau Manager of Water and Sewer at the Upper Hunter Shire Council won the Water Directorate Conference Attendance Award for 2009.
This is the sixth year that the Executive Committee has offered this award and funding, to assist a worthy engineer with up to 7 years experience from a member Council water business, to attend the largest water conference nationally in 2009.
The Water Directorate provides up to $1,600 towards the cost of travel and accommodation and the AWA donated a gratis conference registration also valued at approx $1,600.
This year three young water industry professionals nominated for the award and we encourage the other two nominees to consider putting in an application again when they are closer to finalising their studies.
Congratulations to Sione. Sione attended the OzWater Conference being held in Melbourne this week and will provide a short report back to the Executive Committee on his experiences later this year.
