I do look forward to the times when we are again meeting face to face; however, let’s not overlook the chance to meet new friends this way.”

    Gans will deliver the welcome address at 8 a.m. PDT, and he will followed by the issuing of Executive Reports, IAPMO CEO Dave Viola’s CEO Report, and awards presentations. Robert Glennon, an internationally renowned water resource expert and the best-selling author of Unquenchable, will deliver the keynote address at 9:30 a.m. PDT.
