Technical Sessions
SWANA Evergreen Chapter hosts Technical Sessions throughout the year, for promotion of effective and environmentally responsive solid waste and recycling practices by our members. Regulators, practitioners, governmental and non-governmental agencies are well represented at SWANA Technical Sessions.

Each Technical Session will be 4 to 6 hours and lunch will be provided for those registering before the cut-off date identified on the program flier.  A fee of $50 for members/$75 non-members is charged for each person attending.

Have an idea for a program or topic? Wish to present? Contact swananw@swananw.org with your proposal.

CEUs
SWANA Evergreen Chapter is authorized by SWANA International to award continuing education units (CEUs) for attendance at technical meetings and symposia.  CEUs are assessed for each event on the merit of program content and relevance to industry issues.  Members typically earn 3 or 4 CEUs per meeting. CEU forms will be available for each event and must be filled out by the applicant and signed by the SWANA host.
