E. Sub-Committee Reports

1) Membership (Todd Butz) – Todd discussed the primary goal of the membership committee is to contact and recruit younger individuals in the water industry. Todd is organizing a group panel of individuals in the water industry to talk to either high schools and/or college students regarding career paths. The goal for timing of the panel is early this fall. Brian Zinnell added that there is no reason why the speakers on the panel can’t be those from outside the YP committee. Todd asked that members contact him if interested or if they know of someone interested to sit on the panel.
