BH’s President/CEO, Brian S. Funkhouser, PE, was awarded the 2018 Fred G. Eckardt Memorial Scholarship Award at the Water Works Operators’ Association of Pennsylvania (WWOAP) Annual Conference last week held at the Wyndham Garden at Mountain View Country Club in Boalsburg, PA.
The Eckard Award has been presented to individuals annually since 1991 who’ve demonstrated commitment to Pennsylvania’s water works industry through technical support, financial contributions, research, education, training, and WWOAP committee and management participation.
At the same awards ceremony, former BH President, Raymond M. Best, was accepted posthumously into the WWOAP Hall of Fame. Brian nominated Ray for his outstanding, long-lasting, and far-reaching contribution to the water works industry in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Brian is also the 2013 recipient of the WWOAP Ivan M. Glace Award, which acknowledges individuals whose activities have contributed to improving the Association through the dissemination of knowledge of sound and progressive water works practices.
