Get Involved

Although the Section does have a small staff team to provide support for the day-to-day activities, we are still member driven. That means much of what the Section offers to members is created by other members volunteering their time and expertise.

 

 

There are a number of ways to get involved. Extra hands are always needed.

 

  • Water Works News writer/reviewer - volunteers write articles and act as proof readers before issues go to press. You can write an article (technical or otherwise) or volunteer to act as one of the reviewers.

  • Work MI-ACE or Joint Expo - volunteer to work the registration desk or some other aspect of the conference or expo.

  • Moderate or Host an event - help check in and welcome attendees, introduce speakers, and monitor chat and Q&A.

There are always a number of groups, projects, and activities going on in which to get involved.

 

The Virtual Volunteer Orientation is designed to orient all new Michigan Section volunteers to the larger American Water Works Association as well as the Michigan Section structure, and provide information on the Section's Strategic Plan, partnerships, and how to get the most out of volunteering.
