“Thanks For A Successful Centennial Conference”

As a direct result of the hard work and hospitality of the Allegheny Mountain Section, Pittsburgh’s hosting of the 2007 Centennial Conference of the Air & Waste Management Association was a big success. Lots of positive comments were heard about Pittsburgh itself, the Convention Center and the remarkably nice “environment” that greeted participants from around the world.

The highlights of the Conference included:

  • Near record attendance (2,600+), surpassing the attendance at the Indianapolis, Minneapolis and New Orleans meetings.
  • Almost 200 registrants from our Allegheny Mountain Section, including the NW PA and WV Chapters.
  • A record total of sponsorship contributions (most from local sponsors).
  • Sold out Exhibit Hall.
  • Excellent featured presentations by Lester Lave (CMU); Chuck Bunch (PPG); Christine Whitman (Former New Jersey Governor and U.S. EPA Administrator).
  • Many strong technical sessions, some of which were standing room only.
  • Nightly rounds of receptions and special events, including a moonlight river cruise and a morning after fun run.
  • Popular technical and social tours.
  • Special events for students, young professionals and variety of “outreach” organizations with similar interests to A&WMA.
Many thanks to more than 100 volunteer organizers, monitors and hosts who made the last week in June of 2007 a memorable experience for A&WMA and Pittsburgh.

Thanks to all!

Joe Duckett
Conference Chair
