President’s Message
Fellow Southeast WEAT Members,
It is a tremendous honor to serve as President of the Southeast Texas (SETX) Section of WEAT.
I want to begin by thanking our past presidents, Executive Committee members, volunteers, and countless members who have dedicated their time and energy to building this organization. Their leadership has created a strong foundation, and I am grateful for the opportunity to help carry that legacy forward.
The SETX Section is an active and engaging organization to be part of. We have multiple WEAT signature events such as our Clay Shoot, H-Town Water Showdown, and Wheels for WEAT. Our Section also partners with other organizations including the Annual Seminar, Water for People, and the APWA/SAME/WEAT scholarship luncheon. These events provide the education and service opportunities for our members as well as raise money for our scholarship fund.
My goal is simple: to continue strengthening the value WEAT provides to its members while fostering a culture of engagement, service, and professional growth. I hope we can build an even stronger community, expand opportunities for participation, and ensure that every member feels connected to the mission and future of our organization.
Thank you to all our past and present WEAT members for your commitment to the water profession and WEAT. I encourage each of you to get involved, attend an event, volunteer for a committee, mentor a young professional, or simply reach out and connect with someone new. Together, we can continue building a Section that not only supports our members but helps shape the future of water in Southeast Texas.
I am excited for the year ahead and look forward to serving alongside all of you.
Thanks,
Wade Parks, P.E.
President, Southeast Texas Section
Water Environment Association of Texas
