Anyone is welcome to apply for TEC Committee volunteer work. We encourage you to apply to join both a committee you have related experience in and a committee on a topic you’d like to learn more about.

There are eight Technical and Educational Council Divisions that range from management to water conservation, water science, and beyond. Volunteers in these areas are crucial to help develop educational opportunities and inform the future of water.
