Team E. J. Prescott launched its 7th year of Know How Seminars in January 2014. With stops in Columbus, Indiana, Fort Wayne, Indiana and Lima, Ohio, the full day seminars drew approximately 250 construction professionals.
The conference program presented emerging technology and best management practices for the drinking water, wastewater and stormwater industries. The courses were taught by both Team EJP members and vendor partners. Additionally, attendees were afforded networking opportunities and access to manufacturers via a trade show.
Team E. J. Prescott's Peter Hanrahan, CPESC opened each seminar with a keynote address focusing on the vision of the company's founder, Everett J. Prescott. As early as 1968, Mr. Prescott was calling for conservation of drinking water supplies and predicting the reuse of wastewater. During that time period, such predictions were unheard of, today we know that they are for real. During those remarks Mr. Hanrahan described the development of the company's Quality, Conservation, Revenue (QCR) program, which was introduced in 1970. That program, which really focused primarily on the conservation of our precious water resources, was initiated two years before the Congress of the United States passed the Clean Water Act into law. The keynote message concluded by underlining the company's commitment to the education of both its clients and its employees. The Know How Seminar Series is an extension of that vision.
