At Alabama's WEA, you are a Young Professional (YP) when:
- You are under the age of 35, or
- have worked in the water industry for less than 5 years, or
- are currently a student considering a water-related career!
Joint Student Chapters
AWEA is proud to partner with the American Water Works Association (AWWA) to inspire and support students pursuing careers in STEM and the water industry. If you're a student, you're encouraged to participate in student-focused, young professional (YP), and general association events. Plus, you qualify for discounted membership in AWEA, AWWA, and WEF — giving you access to valuable resources, networking, and career opportunities.
