AWRA-AK President's Message

The Alaska Section would like to Thank all of our 2026 Annual Conference sponsors and speakers. We will be posting select presentations of the next few weeks, while our Communication Committee (CCOM) is preparing our 2026 Conference listing of speaker abstracts and videos. If you are not already an Alaska Section - AWRA member, please consider joining today. If you have a hot topic on Alaskan water resources that you feel would be an interest to members, please contact one of our regional directors and discuss presenting at our monthly Brown Bag speaker series. Thank you again for supporting the Alaska Section our water resources community in Alaska.

Best regards,
