Thank you for everyone who made ASTSWMO’s 50th Anniversary celebration at the Annual Meeting in Washington, DC!
Many great connections were made with First Time Attendees, Alumni, and ASTSWMO partners like ReMA (Recycled Materials Association), U.S. EPA Mid-Atlantic Region and New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC)
We also had a very fun and connecting Reception Ceremony that LNJ Studio and her team captured beautifully! 📸
Here’s to another 50 years!
