 Advancing Water Resources Research and Education
The Florida Section American Water Resources Association was established in 1971 and has been incorporated as a non-profit scientific organization since 1994. Our section has been recognized by National AWRA as the Outstanding State Section ten times, including consecutive recognition in 2002 and 2003.
Our mission is to promote understanding of water resources and related issues by providing a multidisciplinary forum for information exchange, professional development and education. Our vision is to be recognized as the preeminent organization for information exchange about water resources issues.

The John R. Wehle Student Travel Stipend
At the January 2009 meeting, the Board of Directors adoped the John R. Wehle Student Travel Stipend Policy. John Wehle was a zealous supporter of the students involved with the AWRA both at the State and National level. The intent of this policy is to provide funds to assist members of the Florida Student Chapters to attend the Florida Section meetings and to provide funds to members of the Florida Student Chapters who are presenting at the annual meeting. You can donate to the John R. Wehle Travel Stipend. Please contact Rosanne Clementi for details. rclementi@sesi.cc.

Florida Watershed Journal
The Florida Watershed Journal (FWJ) is an official publication of the Florida Section AWRA and the Florida Water Environment Association (FWEA). As leading professional associations in water related industries, the AWRA and the FWEA have made a commitment to keeping members and the community well informed. The FWJ is the only publication in Florida dedicated solely to the dynamic developments in water related issues. Authors in the FWJ are considered leaders in their fields. In order to keep the FWJ current and vibrant, we need help from AWRA and FWEA members to identify topics of value that should be published in the FWJ. Contact Patrick Victor (victorpr@cdm.com) or Nabil Muhaisen (nmuhaisen@sjrwmd.com) with suggestions. To submit a paper for consideration to be published in the FWJ, submit the paper in electronic format (MS Word or PDF) to Chris Martinez (chrisjm@ufl.edu). A stock photo of the lead or corresponding author should be included with submission.
A copy of the most recent AWRA Florida Section tax return is available upon request. Please contact the Treasurer, Ron Edenfield (redenfield@ectinc.com)
