WELCOME FROM THE A&WMA PRESIDENT
                                          Welcome to the A&WMA Annual Conference
                                          & Exhibition in Hartford!
                                          I’m excited you chose to join us for our Association’s largest annual event. The Annual
                                          Conference & Exhibition (ACE) is our chance to (re)connect with colleagues, learn from
                                          topical experts, and see the latest technology in the Exhibition Hall. You can also take a
                                          deep dive into transportation issues at the Critical Review or attend a networking event
                                          to meet new colleagues. If you’re looking for the hot spot for dinner or drinks, track
                                          down a local host committee member, A&WMA Board or Council leader, and ask what is
                                          happening that night. The ACE is large and busy but we want everyone to feel like they are
                                          connected and fully engaged.

                                          Our Association’s Core Purpose is to improve environmental knowledge and decisions
                                          by providing a neutral forum for exchanging information. You are at ground zero for the
                                          effort this week. Take the opportunity to listen with other members and attendees from
                                          different geographies, organizations, and specialties. Start a conversation on a critical
                                          issue and see where we agree and where we need to work for compromise and win-win
Chris Nelson                              solutions. Close a business deal or learn about an innovative technology or make a new
2018 A&WMA President                      friend. At the end of the week, if you have any great stories from Hartford (or any past
                                           ACE events!), please send them to me. I always love a good A&WMA anecdote.
                                          Thanks for attending the Hartford ACE and for your contributions to A&WMA.

  Welcome from the Conference Chairs
  It’s been 43 years since the Annual Conference & Exhibition was held in New England so we are especially glad to welcome
  you. We expect that you will have a wonderful time here because there are so many things to do and see in the area. We hope
  that you have planned that special New England vacation that you dreamed of around the conference. Please enjoy our Science
  Center which is directly across from the Connecticut Convention Center. Enjoy all the tastes of Hartford that are within easy
  walking distance or catch the Dash bus to get around easily. Don’t forget the Hartford Yardgoats baseball team which will be
  playing nearby all four nights of the conference.

  We know you will have an exceptional knowledge experience at the conference this year with the EPA Assistant Administrators in
  the plenary session, the New England Commissioners and Air Directors in two of our panels, plus sessions, courses, the
  exhibit, and so many other opportunities to learn, share and grow this week.

  We hope to see you and say hello in person.
