NYRWA Announces Upcoming Webinars
 
In an attempt to meet the training needs of our members, NYRWA staff have been working diligently to develop webinar style recertification training. Currently, the regulatory agencies are not reviewing courses for approval. Without pre-approval, there is no guarantee contact hours will be awarded. However, our staff have made every effort to select topics that have previously been approved for classroom training, therefore we anticipate approval once the state resumes course review.
 
This is a new endeavor for our staff and the association that we take solely to meet the needs of our members. NYRWA will provide these webinar courses free of charge. Currently, we are offering the sessions listed below anticipating 2 contact hours for water recertification per session:
 
Date: 5/21/2020  12:00 – 2:15 pm                   
Topic(s): Iron and Manganese Removal / Dealing with Water Hardness
Speaker: Rich Ross, PE and Matt Williams, PE - WesTech Engineering, Inc.
   The first hour of this presentation will be a discussion on Iron and Manganese removal including: removal options, treatment challenges, chemistry/process design equipment and current regulations limits. At the end of the first hour there will be a Q&A session followed by a 15-minute break.

I ask your consideration in taking this step with our staff as we venture into this realm of continuing education at this time. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to our staff who assumed this task, our Associate Members who stepped up to offer the training, and to you, our valued members, who are willing to take the plunge with our staff without pre-approval.
