Message from the Chair

Welcome to the 2022 Annual Conference

Jeff Cunningham, Chair

Iam pleased to welcome everyone back to Indianapolis for our 2022 Annual Conference. This is our first full Conference in over two years. While we were fortunate enough to have a scaled-down Annual Conference in 2021, it was not the same as being able to put on the full show. Our Section staff and volunteers have put together a great program with a full slate of educational opportunities this year. In addition to the classroom presentations, there are Exhibit Hall presentations as we have done in the past.

The MAC has once again worked to fill the Exhibit Hall and we are encouraging everyone to visit and see the latest sales and service offerings. As we did in 2020, Wednesday’s lunch will be provided in the Exhibit Hall. Don’t forget that our return to a normal conference is highlighted with great networking opportunities. Tuesday evening is the Fuller Reception, followed by several after-hours events, then Wednesday evening is our Social Hour Meet and Greet.

Thank you to our Section staff, the Committees, and the individual volunteers that have worked so hard to put this Conference together. To say the least, the last two years have been difficult and many of the logistics and planning hurdles to putting this Conference on have changed. Our team has been energetic and focused on bringing everyone back, and we cannot thank them enough.

As my term as your Section Chair ends, I send my thanks and appreciation to the individuals that work tirelessly to provide education and support for all of our members.

Lastly, a friendly reminder for everyone to consider volunteering with the Section. From the Districts, through all of our committees, there are countless ways to pitch in. I promise you: the experience itself and the friendships that you will make will be worth it.

OTHER WAY. When it comes to pipe, materials come in and out of favor. Yet only one has always proven safe for health, the environment, and your longterm fi nancial strength. Our ductile iron and steel pipes last generations, are made from recycled material, and are also recyclable. That means ideal sustainability and life-cycle value. It’s more than long-lasting pipe. It’s your ironclad promise to the future.
