We are pleased to announce that ASM Mohiuddin of Singleton Shire Council won the AWA/Water Directorate Conference Attendance Award and will attend OzWater'11 in Adelaide from 9-11 May 2011. Mohiuddin is a chemical engineer supervising the operations of Singleton's WTP and STP. Overall he is keen to attend Ozwater'11 to listen and learn about the latest technical developments to produce high quality drinking water.
This is the eighth 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 AWA's 2011 national water conference.
The Water Directorate will provide up to $1,600 towards the cost of travel and accommodation and AWA has generously donated a conference registration also valued at approx $1,600.
Three young water industry professionals nominated for the award this year. The nominees were judged on their applications and assessment of the engineering, environmental and professional benefits to themselves and their councils from attending this peak water conference. Unsuccessful nominees are encouraged to renominate for this award next year.
Congratulations to Mohiuddin. We look forward to hearing about your experiences from this year's Ozwater'11 conference in the near future.
