Top Ops Challenge Committee

The purpose of this committee is to coordinate and conduct the Annual "TOP OPS" Challenge held during each Spring Meeting. The Committee will also evaluate other activities/competitions that may be incorporated in future meetings and conferences to increase the participation of operating personnel. The committee will develop and maintain a "how-to" manual for conducting the "TOPS OPS" Challenge. The committee may video tape the contest proceedings and supply them to the contestants and the Section office. Tapes will also be made available, at a reasonable cost, to interested agencies. The committee will supply registration information, before the specified deadline, to the Section office to be included in the Spring Registration Package. The committee will also supply the office with contest results and other promotional material to be published in SOURCE. The Committee Chair should have a strong background in all aspects of water treatment plant operations. There shall be three other members, one of which should be a supplier representative. The Spring Local Arrangements Committee will supply one of its members as liaison to assist in coordinating this event.
