The National Ground Water Association depends on volunteers to help move the professions forward. The Association has created a set of groups that are: purposeful, offer advice to the NGWA Board of Directors, selective in appointing its members, and operate in conjunction with the overall goals of the Association.

  • Committees, subcommittees, and task forces
  • Writing articles for our publications
  • Reviewing papers for conferences
  • Presenting at conferences, webinars, short courses, brown bag sessions, and town halls
  • Participating in the consensus process for standard development and best suggested practices
  • Being part of groundwater’s voice to the U.S. national government

Volunteers must be NGWA members who are willing to:

  • Participate in scheduled meetings
  • Meet deadlines
