9. Upcoming Events

10. Committee Update Suggested Presentation:
2017 AZ Water Association Leadership Retreat July 28 – 29, 2017 Tucson, Arizona
Committee Update Suggested Presentation:
In order to provide a bit more structure to the committee chair updates at the leadership retreat, one suggestion is to provide a template for those chairs to populate information about their committee. This will hopefully prevent various styles, handouts, and information from one committee to another.
