Welcome to the Water Quality Association podcast. Learn more at https://wqa.org. In this episode, we focus on volunteerism and mentoring within WQA and the water treatment industry. Our guest is Becky Tallon, who leads the water treatment technology team at A.O. Smith’s Corporate Technology Center. She successfully managed the launch of the company’s water treatment products in North America and helped shepherd three newly acquired water treatment companies into A.O. Smith’s family of businesses. We discuss the mentorship programs at WQA and what it’s like to volunteer on task forces, committees and advisory councils, as well as the many benefits these opportunities offer WQA members who want to advance their career in the water treatment industry. Take advantage of the Mid-Year Leadership conference September 17-19, 2024 near Chicago's O'Hare Airport. Learn more at https://wqa.org/mylc.
