Founded in 1907, the Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan professional organization that provides a neutral forum for information exchange, professional development, networking opportunities, public education, and outreach to more than 5,000 environmental professionals worldwide. A&WMA promotes global environmental responsibility and increases the effectiveness of organizations to make critical decisions that benefit society.
History
A&WMA was founded in June 1907 by a group of smoke inspectors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its original name was the International Association for the Prevention of Smoke,[2] and its name was subsequently changed several times to reflect changes in its members' interests.[3] Specifically, it was renamed the Smoke Prevention Association of America in 1915, the Air Pollution Control Association in 1950, and obtained its current name in 1988.[4][5]
The mission of A&WMA is to assist its members with their environmental decision-making responsibilities by providing relevant professtional development opportunities in a neutral forum.[1]
