RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (Oct. 30, 2014) – The California-Nevada Section of the American Water Works Association (CA-NV AWWA) named Sue Mosburg chair of its Board of Directors during their annual fall conference last week in Reno, Nevada. Mosburg, who previously served as chair elect, succeeds Bruce Macler in leading the group.

Mosburg began her career in the water/wastewater industry at the City of San Diego's Water Department, where she worked on the docks, scrubbed boats and assisted fishermen. With more than 30 years in the industry, she has risen through the ranks to become a program manager at Sweetwater Authority where she is responsible for risk management, employee development, water use efficiency and school education programs.

She has also served on many CA-NV committees including the CA-NV Section Governing Board, Water Use Efficiency Committee, Workforce Development Council, Emergency and Security Preparedness Committee, Business Division and several others.

Mosburg vows to bring energy, passion and dedication to her new role as section chair. She will focus on enhancing member and customer communications via new technologies and the CA-NV AWWA website redesign project, slated for completion in January 2015. With her assistance, the website makeover will include additional images, less text and member-only material. She also plans to expand public outreach efforts.

When she is not working, Mosburg spends much of her free time supporting the Water Conservation Garden in San Diego County, youth sports and the water technology program at Cuyamaca College. She has been instrumental in helping Cuyamaca College start their first CA-NV AWWA student chapter earlier this year.

Other board members for the 2014-2015 term include:
Kirk Medina, chair elect
Heather Collins, vice-chair
Bruce Macler, past chair
Katherine Nutting, treasurer

Established in 1881, the American Water Works Association is the largest nonprofit, scientific and educational association dedicated to managing and treating water, the world’s most important resource.
