ARKANSAS SELECT SOCIETY OF
SANITARY SLUDGE SHOVELERS
The Arkansas Select Society of Sanitary Sludge Shovelers is a group of water professionals that have contributed back into the industry, excelling in their field and also volunteering their time as an advocate for the treatment and handling of water and wastewater. Each member can be identified at water and wastewater functions by the distinct golden, round nosed shovel that is displayed on their apparel. The Shovel Pin is also adorned with a diamond to represent our great State.
The AR 5S may induct up to four candidates per year as nominated by their peers. A candidate should contribute as a committee member, committee chairperson, or be a presenter for AWWA, AWEA, WEF, SWAWWA, or the Arkansas Water and Wastewater Managers Association. The induction may also include one honorary member per cycle that is a member of WEF, has contributed to our industry in Arkansas, and who now lives outside the State.
The AR 5S was established for the advancement of fellowship and good fun in and for the Arkansas Water Environment Association.
