Environmental Professional Associations
US-AEP fosters the development of environmental professional
associations in Asia, through which members can gain access to global
professional networks, the latest technical information, opportunities
to participate in conferences, and more. With US-AEP support, two U.S.
associations --
Air & Waste Management
Association (A&WMA) and the
Water Environment Federation
(WEF) -- have opened member units in Asia.
What is the Air & Waste Management Association?
A&MA is an association of 16,000 industrialists, researchers,
equipment manufacturers, government control personnel, educators,
meteorologists, and others, who are dedicated to seeking answers to the
problems of air pollution and waste management. A&WMA focuses on
providing information and training to environmental educators,
policymakers, and members throughout the world. Eighty-two association
member units exist in the United States and internationally. A&WMA has
three member associations in Asia (Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea), and
has more than 350 members from 10 Asian countries.
What is the Water Environment Federation?
WEF is an association of more than 41,000 members who are committed
to enhancing and preserving water quality and resources. WEF seeks to
advance fundamental and practical knowledge concerning the collection,
treatment, and disposal of domestic and industrial wastewater and the
design, construction, operation, and management of facilities for these
purposes. WEF�s main focus is to disseminate technical information;
publish research journals, technical magazines, newsletters, books, and
design manuals; and produce technical training courses and public
education materials. WEF has five member associations in Asia (India,
Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Philippines), and has more than 500 members
from 13 Asian countries.
What are the benefits of association membership?
- Linkage with A&WMA and WEF in the U.S. and other Asian
associations
- Relationships with local environmental professional leaders and
activists
- Professional development and certification support
- Newsletters, publications, and public education programs
- Annual conferences and exhibitions, training courses, workshops,
and regional meetings
How can I become an association member?
Asian environmental professionals who focus on issues of urban and
industrial environmental management are encouraged to seek membership in
the association working in their country. These professionals from a
variety of disciplines include scientists, business people, engineers,
academics, attorneys, and elected officials.
