Letter from the president
Dear Friends and Colleagues ,
Welcome to ACE21 All Virtual ! We are excited to deliver a top-tier virtual experience that will be informative , impactful , and engaging for everyone involved .
The pandemic and the Association ’ s efforts need to keep our members and staff safe and healthy means that my term as AWWA President has been entirely virtual . While this has been a disappointment for me , I ’ m incredibly proud that AWWA became more of a convener over the last year than we ’ ve ever been , and we will continue to be a convener this year as well .
AWWA brings people together . We provide a place to come to share information . We ’ re a place to check in on our colleagues and peers , and we ’ re a place to continue our network . I encourage you to take a thorough look through the ACE21 All Virtual program to find the presenters and technologies that help you embrace a future filled with hope .
ACE21 All Virtual features more than 80 hours of learning through six professional tracks , delivered by some of our profession ’ s most knowledgeable and engaging presenters . I encourage you to also spend some time exploring the innovative products and services provided by our first-rate sponsors .
I cannot wait for a time when we can bump elbows and meet in crowded conference rooms again . But until then , I am proud to join you and hundreds of other water innovators at ACE21 All Virtual !
Best ,
Melissa Elliott
