COVID-19 Update

On Monday, July 13, 2020, the Texas Water Quality Association Board of Directors voted unanimously to cancel the 47th Annual Convention which had been rescheduled for October, 2020, in San Antonio, Texas.  

According to Daina Grace, TWQA Executive Director, 

"The ability to hold a safe in person event has been greatly affected by the current surge in COVID-19 cases as well as the uncertainty of what the future holds. The safety of our exhibitors and members is the most important factor so the decision was made. Watch for details regarding a virtual meeting to fulfill annual Association requirements.      

The convention has been moved to July 12th - 16, 2021, at the San Antonio Marriott RiverCenter.  Please mark your calendars to attend in 2021!

Thank you so very much for your patience and understanding during this very trying time.  TWQA is here for you and looks forward to meeting face to face soon.  Be safe, stay strong and please feel free to call me if you have questions."
