“I SWANA LOBSTER!” 🦞 NNE Annual Fall Chapter Meeting

The Northern New England Chapter of SWANA has been hard at work this year and want to invite you to our fall/annual meeting for 2022

on November 17, 2022 from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm.

This will be our first regular in-person meeting since the pandemic so we picked a more festive location –

Newicks Lobster House in Dover, NH.

In addition to having time to get reacquainted in person, we want to focus on our membership and will be having a series of discussions of what we do as a chapter and plans for the future – both continuing our regular programming and new ideas.

We hope you can join us for our I SWANA Lobster event!

CONGRATULATIONS Panagiota Stamatopoulou & Cassandra Lafleur!

The Northern New England Chapter of SWANA is pleased to announce that they have selected two winners of this year’s Steve Parker Memorial Scholarship. The recipients were selected based on their stellar resumes and proven interest and commitment to the Solid Waste industry. Each recipient received $1000 toward their future education.

Cassandra Lafleur of Dover, NH will be attending the University of New Hampshire this fall. She is enrolled in the Chemical Engineering/ Materials Science & Engineering major and was influential in helping her high school switch from single-use plastic to metal cutlery in their cafeteria to help reduce waste production.

Panagiota Stamatopoulou is an Environmental Engineering, Ph.D. student at the University of Vermont who has already co-authored numerous solid waste-related journal articles and assisted in the preparation of waste management plans for Greek municipalities. Panagiota is also a student member of SWANA.

We congratulate each recipient on their award and look forward to seeing the impact each one will make on our industry in the future.
