Governance at CAWQ
The Canadian Association on Water Quality is a volunteer organization governed by an Executive Committee and a group of Directors drawn from industry and academia from regions across Canada. All members are nominated by the nominating committee and confirmed at the Annual General Meeting that is held during the Central Regional Conference, the first week of February.
In addition, the Canadian National Committee of the International Water Association (CNC/IWA) is comprised of the Executive Committee of the CAWQ and other additional members as may be required to comply with the Constitution of the IWA. Two members of the CAWQ represent Canadian interests on the Governing Board of the International Water Association.

Past Officials of the CAWQ
The CAWQ was formed in 1967 and, since that time, has attracted the involvement of many academic, industrial and public service personnel. Through their many hours of volunteer activities, these people have contributed in countless ways to the growth and stability of the association and to its prominence on the national and international stage.
