The IWA supports 11 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) who are represented by technical specialists within their individual fields from within the Victorian Water Industry.
Each SIG meets 3 times a year (February, June and November) in conjunction with the IWA conferences. Copies of meeting agendas can be accessed here.
The role of Convenor is a 2 year term for each SIG. To assist with on-boarding and handover, please refer to our Induction Guide.
