With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the availability of the vaccine, we have decided to postpone the annual in-person conference originally planned for May 11-13, 2021. This decision was made at this time due to conditions of the venue’s cancellation policy. Given the multitude of unknown variables around the pandemic and our commitment to keeping our members healthy and safe, PA-AWWA has decided that the most responsible action to take was to postpone the conference.
