There's a Place for Everyone

MI-AWWA is powered by volunteers.

Whether you have a few hours to spare, want to share your expertise, or are looking for a long-term leadership opportunity, there are many ways to become involved. Every volunteer plays an important role in supporting Michigan's drinking water community and helping us fulfill our mission of A Better Michigan Through Better Water.

No matter where you are in your career, there's a place for you.
