To foster professional excellence in water well technology, the National Ground Water Research and Educational Foundation established the William A. McEllhiney Distinguished Lecture Series in Water Well Technology.
Initiated in 2000, the lecture series honors William A. McEllhiney, the 1948 founding president of the National Ground Water Association, and a groundwater contractor and civil engineer.
How is the McEllhiney Lecturer selected?
Annually, a panel of groundwater contractors invites an outstanding groundwater professional to share his or her insights and work experiences with the industry. Individuals may nominate themselves or others they believe to be qualified as an NGWREF McEllhiney Distinguished Lecturer.
Where are McEllhiney Lectures presented?
Meetings and conventions of state and regional associations are eligible. Foreign associations of groundwater contractors, academic institutions teaching water well technology, gatherings of water well regulators, and other bodies with a direct and identifiable interest in water well design and construction are eligible as well.
