Important Notice -- Proposed Changes to MWWC By-laws
At the February 17, 2022 board meeting, MWWC's board voted to change the name of MWWC's Award of Merit to reflect the name of Mr. David L. Williams.
David was a teacher, boss, mentor, and friend who made his mark on many who devoted almost 45 years to the water and wastewater industry. David's year of service include employment with private water companies, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, and his own consulting company. David became a member of the MWWC in 1977 and a life member 25 years later. He was active on both the state and section level and was the backbone of MWWC's Northwest Section. David L. Williams passed away on July 20, 2021.
Article III Section I 3.1.6 G of MWWC's current by-laws reads, "The Award of Merit Selection Committee is made up of the last 5 available recipients of the award."
Article III Section 3.1.7 of MWWC's current by-laws reads, "Awards and Recognitions shall be liberally bestowed upon deserving members within the fields of water and wastewater. Nominees must be current members of the Missouri Water and Wastewater Conference. The standing awards are as follows: W. Victor Weir Award; Robert S. Miller Award; A.V. Graf Chairman's Appreciation Award; Award of Merit; MWWC's Young Operator of the Award; MWWC's Statewide Operator of the Year Award, John E. Betz Outstanding Trainers Award.
The proposed amendments to the by-laws would be to change the name of the Award of Merit to the David L. Williams Award of Merit as follows:
