Big Bend ChapterThe FWEA Big Bend Chapter currently serves the Florida Panhandle. Our service area ranges from approximately I-75 in Live Oak to Pensacola to the Florida-Georgia & Alabama border to the Gulf of Mexico. Our membership is diverse including operators, engineers, and administrators of several urban and rural municipalities and private and cooperative utility companies, as well as representatives of private-practice engineering firms and utility equipment sales and service companies. Our foremost mission is to provide professional and technical educational opportunities to members in the Big Bend area. As a result of our diversity of membership, we are constantly challenged to provide educational topics that appeal to the various disciplines at our bi-monthly meetings and annual seminars. To take on this challenge, we have created a Steering Committee to plan and execute the events of the Big Bend Chapter. The FWEA Big Bend Chapter is also active in outreach to the educational community, participating in scholastic events to encourage awareness and education for the protection of our valuable water resources. We recently assisted with the formation of a student chapter at FSU/FAMU College of Engineering and regularly communicate with the Engineers Without Borders group at the same school. Members have also made presentations to local schools and civic organizations. We encourage students and educators to participate in our local chapter events as well as State and National events, whenever possible. Our chapter meetings and events provide a forum for professional networking and shared interests. Our location in Tallahassee and our membership roster guarantees that regulatory issues affecting our industry are often topics of discussion before and after technical presentations. To learn how you can participate in the Big Bend Chapter, contact any of the members listed below. Bi-monthly Chapter Meetings The FWEA Big Bend Chapter conducts bi-monthly chapter meetings in March, May, July, September, and November. These meetings are usually held at a local Tallahassee restaurant during lunch hours, except for the September meeting when the Chapter hosts a joint Student Chapter and EWB dinner meeting on campus.
