Reminder to all A&WMA-UMS Members:
 
In preparation for our 2013 Conference on the Environment (COE) which will be held Tuesday, November 12, 2013, we are seeking your input in two ways! 

Jen Cowman and Katie Swor participated in the 2013 Twin Cities Color Run™on Saturday July 14, 2013.  The Color Run™ event is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family.  UMS A&WMA is making this an annual event, so look for the annoucements on the 2014 run.  Looking good ladies!

As a benefit to our members, we are hosting board speakers as part of our next monthly board meeting.

The A&WMA UMS Education Committee hosted the Student Environmental Challenge as part of the 2012 Conference on the Environment (COE).  Undergraduate college students were presented with a topical, environmental "problem" to solve.  Teams were scored on their written proposal and presentation.  Scores were based on their logic, process, creativity, and ability to address political and social issues in addition to their technical strength and detail associated with the environmental challenge.

We were proud to have several members of the UMS AWMA present at the 2013 Air & Waste Management Association Annual Conference in Chicago, IL.  We are pleased to have two of these members presenting their papers at our July board meeting.  Please contact a board member if you would like a copy of their full presentation or paper.
