WHO WE ARE:
Mississippi- Kaskaskia Valley Water Pollution Control Operators Association, otherwise known as MIS-KA is an association of Wastewater Operators and Associates from the I.E.P.A. , the equipment technology field, engineers, and other Industry Professionals, in the Mississippi-Kaskaskia Valley region of Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri. MIS-KA has proudly existed since the 1980's and continues to grow as new members enter these fields each year.
OBJECTIVES:
Taken from Article II of our constitution:
"The object of this Association shall be the advancement and the dissemination of knowledge on design, operation, and management of domestic and industrial wastewater treatment works, and the the encouragement, through the meetings of the members and guests, of the exchange of information and experiences. Our commitment to education is evidenced by numerous scholarship awards that we have given annually to graduating E.R.T.C. students.
MEETINGS:
MIS-KA meets quarterly at various locations, and each meeting features a Meet and Greet session, a Meal, a Business meeting , and Guest Speakers, who give instruction on new technology, or how to make old technology to work better. Often we open an Operator's forum, to bring problems to the forefront, and help solve the problem. MIS-KA meetings are informative, fun, promote fellowship and co-operation.
