With 34 Sections and 65 Chapters worldwide, the Association also serves members at a local level. A&WMA’s Sections and Chapters are local member units that provide members with environmental leadership, region-specific programming, and networking opportunities close to home.
A&WMA has two monthly publications, The Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, one of the oldest continuously published, peer-reviewed, technical environmental journals in the world, and EM, the magazine for environmental managers.
