Thank you for your interest in the Georgia Association of Water Professionals (a 501-C-3 not for profit organization). Included on this website, you will find information designed to enhance your career and to broaden your understanding of the Water/Wastewater field. We have endeavored to make this site a useful and dynamic source of up-to-date information. Historically, our Association's primary focus has been to provide education and training opportunities for people working in the water and wastewater field, and we are continually expanding and enhancing our services to our membership, other elected officials, the media, and the public. |
In addition, the Association has increased the scope of its activities and the depth of its involvement, becoming a prominent and authoritative source of information on water-related issues to the General Assembly and If you are not an active member, I would encourage and invite you to consider joining others who have decided to be a part of this preeminent environmental association.

GAWP Biography
The Georgia Association of Water Professionals (GAWP) is a
not-for-profit professional Association founded in 1932 and has grown
into a membership of well over 5,000 operators, owners, contractors,
manufacturers' representatives, engineers, elected officials, industry
representatives and others concerned with Georgia's water resources.
The GAWP is affiliated with several professional organizations, including the Water Environment Federation, American Water Works Association, American Backflow Prevention Association, American Water Resources Association, Georgia Ground Water Association, and the Georgia Water Wise Council. Each of these organizations has active participation in GAWP through their respective State Chapters and is represented on the GAWP Board of Directors (thirty-nine standing members in total). GAWP believes affiliation with these organizations significantly enhances education, information exchange, and networking opportunities for all of Georgia's water professionals.
GAWP is dedicated to exceptional professional education, dissemination
of sound technical principles and scientific information, increased
public understanding, and promotion of valid public laws and programs.
Our chief purpose is to assist those who have an interest in water,
wastewater, and related topics in the State of Georgia. GAWP holds four
major technical conferences over the course of the year and conducts
Georgia's second largest professional meeting with over 1,500 attendees.
In addition, the Association hosts or co-sponsors numerous specialty
workshops across the state and the southeast. GAWP is divided into nine
geographic Districts, with each District having an appointed Director
and an Assistant. We believe personal contact is critical to maintaining
a healthy Association and local assistance is achieved via direct
support from these eighteen volunteers. They, along with eight
full-time GAWP employees, deliver exceptional member support services
and strive to further Georgia water professional's merit and value on a
daily basis.
