NOTE: * annotation qualifies for 0.1 CEU's (Continuing Education Units),
** qualifies for 0.15 CEU's per session towards WQA certification or re-certification.
Depending on your certification level, you have to earn between 2.0 and 3.0
CEU's over a three year period from the date of your original
certification.
Please use the forms on this site to make your CWQA Conference Registration as soon as possible.
Also do not forget to make your CWQA Hotel
Registration at the same time. The hotel imposes a "late fee"
for registrations past their deadline. If you want to take some tests for
WQA certification, pre-pay the WQA directly,
order books and/or tapes early so you have ample study time.
Thank you in advance for making a commitment to attend YOUR yearly Colorado
Water Quality Association Conference and making it a success. We look forward
sharing ideas and knowledge with you at this upcoming conference and all the
future ones!
