Peter Vanrolleghem, holder of the modelEAU chair, won the Arthur Sidney Bedell Award on March 22nd on World Water Day at Americana, the International Environmental Technology Conference & Exhibition.

The Arthur Sidney Bedell Award is a distinction from the Water Environment Federation (WEF) awarded to a member of Réseau Environnement and the WEF for his sustained participation in these two organizations and for his involvement in the field of wastewater treatment. The award is named for Arthur Sidney Bedell, WEF's second president for his long devotion and service to the New York Sewage and Industrial Wastes Association, now the New York Water Environment Association. He was Chief of the Bureau of Sewage and Waste Disposal of the New York State Department of Health.

Congratulations, Peter!
