WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION HONORS

THE ARTHUR SIDNEY BEDELL AWARD

The Arthur Sidney Bedell Award was established to acknowledge extraordinary personal service to a Member Association. General criteria may include organizational leadership, administrative service, membership activity, stimulation of technical functions, or similar participation. The Member Associations have ultimate control over the selection criteria.

The award is named for the second president of the Federation, who exemplified its purpose by his long Devotion and service to the New York Sewage and Industrial Wastes Association, now the New York Water Environment Association. He was Chief of the Bureau of Sewage and Waste Disposal of the New York State Department of Health.

THE WILLIAM D. HATFIELD AWARD

The William D. Hatfield Award is given to operators of wastewater treatment plants for outstanding performance and professionalism. The Member Associations control the process of selection, but the Federation has set up general criteria. These include a successful system of reports from the operator to his superiors that fulfill the informational requirements of his superiors and provide the operator with a forum for suggestions for improvements. Consideration is also given to the use of a good public relations program. Finally, the nominee should have contributed to the dissemination of information concerning advancements in his field. 

The award was established in honor of Dr. William D. Hatfield, Superintendent of the Decatur, Illinois Sanitary District, who was President of the Central States Sewage Works Association in 1944-45 and served as President of the Federation in 1958-59.
