The Membership Committee is charged with recruiting new association members, broadening the membership, and retaining current members, thereby not only increasing Section membership, but also enlarging the Section's allotment from association funds. This committee is concerned with recruitment and retention of all categories of membership.

Water For People
FSAWWA is one of four water organizations that formed a charity donor group in 2006 called Florida’s Water Associations (FWA). The other organizations are FWEA, FRWA and FW&PCOA. The primary mission of FWA has been and continues to be raising funds to support Water for People programs in developing countries.
Many people and companies contributed their time and money to support Water for People through Florida’s Water Associations. In particular, FSAWWA thanks their Regions II, III, IV, VII, VIII, IX, and XI for the money they raised in 2007 on behalf of Water for People.
Water for People will continue to be strengthened and expanded at all levels of FSAWWA. We look forward to a successful 2009.
