New AWWA leader addresses water security 

ORLANDO, FL — New American Water Works Association (AWWA) president Kathryn L. McCain addressed the 2004 Annual Conference and Exposition, citing water security as a top priority, according to an association news release.

McCain said that the water industry is a vital part of the safety of the public and that part of her duty will be to ensure that their customers and elected officials recognize the importance of a safe drinking supply along with customer satisfaction and fiscal responsibility, the news release said.

McCain says during her presidency she will raise awareness of the value of water, ensure the security of water supplies, and plan for a future in which AWWA will continue to grow, said the news release.

An AWWA member since 1985, McCain served two terms as an AWWA vice-president while serving as the Texas section director. She was a member of the AWWA Membership Committee and served as chair, the release stated.

McCain also established and chaired the Operator Involvement and Young Professionals Committees. She has served on AWWA's Administrative and Policy Council, Distribution and Plant Operations Division, and the Education Task Force, the news release said.

Established in 1881, AWWA is the oldest and largest nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to safe drinking water in North America, according to the news release.
