The Journal Editorial Advisory Board, a subcommittee of the Division Chairs Committee, advises on content, policy and priorities for the Journal – American Water Works Association. Their deliberations take into consideration the balance of content between management/operations and research/technology, the needs of advertisers and the financial health of the publication.
Comprising experts in various aspects of the water and wastewater industry, including academia, research, utilities, consultants, manufacturers and regulators, the board identifies emerging topics, research areas, subject authorities and thought leaders for content solicitation. The JEAB also provides direction on the peer review system and recruits and appoints members to the Peer Review Editorial Board.
