Planning for the 2020 SDWWA Annual Conference.
Your SDWWA board has been looking ahead to the annual conference at the Aberdeen Ramkota on September 16 through 18. We have been monitoring the state and city responses to COVID-19 and have been in contact with the Ramkota Hotel regarding their approach to conferences that have been scheduled. The Board has decided to move forward with plans assuming the conference will be held as scheduled and have been communicating with the South Dakota AWWA Section and the South Dakota Water Environment Association relative to conference planning. By mid-July, the Board will decide whether or not the conference will be held in September, and will communicate that decision to the SDWWA membership by e-mail to members and on the SDWWA web site. Please feel free to share your questions or thoughts about the conference via e-mail to President Delvin DeBoer at delvin.deboer@ae2s.com or Secretary/Treasurer Rob Kittay at rob.kittay@state.sd.us.

One of the most important things about the Annual Conference is the chance to meet and mingle with your peers in the water and wastewater industry. Everyone from the one operator town to operators from the largest cities in South Dakota, and some leaders on the national level from the American Water Works Association and the Water Environment Federation will be in attendance. It is a great chance to meet the staff from the SD Department of Environment and Natural Resources, EPA representatives, engineers, suppliers, and many others.
