E1: Opening General Session
Track: Events When: Monday, October 12, 2009, 8:30am - 9:30pm
Where: Orange County Convention Center, Chapin Theater, Level 3
Dr. Mike Magee, a veteran health care leader and author of "Healthy Waters: What Every Health Professional Should Know About Water," will deliver the keynote address during the Opening General Session of WEFTEC.09.
First published in 2005, Healthy Waters sheds light on the impending global water crisis and its negative impact on the healthy living of individuals and global societies if immediate action is not taken to address it. In 2007, Dr. Magee began touring the United States to spread this message and recently launched the "Healthy Waters Initiative." The goal of the initiative is to raise awareness about the vital importance of clean water to public health and to generate action on water-related issues. During his keynote address, Dr. Magee will discuss how access to potable water directly affects public health.
In addition to the keynote presentation, the opening session has been reformatted this year to increase its value to WEFTEC attendees. Now on a new day and time, this high-profile event sets the tone for the conference that draws thousands of water quality professionals from around the world each year.
