Frequently Asked Questions |
 Each year (generally in April) the Washington, Oregon and British Columbia chapters hold a joint Northwest Symposium, where members come to exchange information, socialize, and learn from each other and technical experts. In addition to ample opportunities for casual socializing with colleagues and local entertainment, the symposia typically offer a lineup of technical sessions for one or more days, classes in topics of interest to solid waste managers, and often have tours of nearby solid waste management facilities. The host chapter rotates among the three chapters.
2007 NW Symposium
The 2007 NW Symposium was hosted by the Washington Evergreen Chapter and was held at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center April 16 – 20, 2007.
Continuing the theme of our technical meetings in 2006, the 2007 NW Symposium theme was Emergency and Disaster Debris Management. For more information, contact: Tom Kraemer at tkraemer@ch2m.com.
A full three day FEMA course in Emergency and Disaster Debris Management was held from April 16 – 18. Technical sessions also focused on disaster debris management, but included other topics as well. (Suggestions are welcome!)
2006 NW Symposium
The 2006 NW Symposium was hosted by the British Columbia Chapter and was held in Richmond BC on April 3-5, 2006.
Proceedings from the symposium technical sessions and other information can be obtained from the British Columbia Chapter at www.swanabc.org. |
