Overview

Water SIG's AGM will take place using the online facility GoToWebinar. All are welcome to attend, but only Water SIG members can vote.

Nominations are invited for election to the committee, from Water SIG members throughout the world. Nominees must indicate their willingness to stand, and must be proposed and seconded by Water SIG members. Nominees are invited to provide a little information (100 words maximum) about their affiliation, professional interests, what they hope to contribute to the committee.

All of this information must be provided by email to the Chairman at water-sig-chair@ichememember.org by 17:00 UK time on Friday 7 December, so that the information can be provided to members in advance.

Nominations are also invited for election as chair, secretary and treasurer exactly as above, but in addition the chair and treasurer must be Chartered Members of IChemE unless otherwise approved by Council.

The business of the committee will generally be conducted online by GoToMeeting or equivalent, and email. Therefore committee members throughout the world will be able to participate. The secretariat is currently operated from UK. It is clearly most important for the success of the Group that all committee members are able to contribute to developing the programme and other activities of the group (e.g. awards, water boxes, newsletters, LinkedIn, website) in an active and timely way.

For information, the objectives (purposes) of the group are to:

• promote the application of chemical engineering in the treatment of water and wastewater in the municipal and industrial sectors
• promote a better understanding of water management in industry
• encourage education in water and wastewater treatment processes
• provide a dynamic forum for the interchange of views, knowledge and ideas related to water and wastewater treatment
• form national and international links with other organisations in the field
• disseminate up-to-date information on what is happening in the water industry including through regular publication of a newsletter.
