ALEXANDRIA, Va. (June 14, 2012) – The Water Environment Federation (WEF) announces 23 distinguished members as the 2012 group of WEF Fellows. This prestigious designation recognizes members’ achievements, stature, and contributions in professional segments served by WEF. The WEF Fellow Recognition Program, now in its second year, identifies individuals with outstanding accomplishments who have made an impact in their field of expertise and have been approved by WEF Board of Trustees.
"WEF members are world leaders in water quality, and the Fellow Recognition Program is one way to recognize truly exceptional individuals," said WEF Executive Director Jeff Eger. "We are very proud of the 2012 Fellows and appreciate their outstanding commitment to water quality, the environment, and public health."
