Description
NEIWPCC-JETCC is partnering with MEWEA and MWUA to bring northern Maine’s premier water and wastewater training conference to The County.
The North Country Convention (NCC) is a two-day educational event and trade show designed for wastewater and drinking water operators. It is held biennially in Presque Isle, Maine, and is organized by NEIWPCC-JETCC. The convention features a variety of technical sessions, exhibitor interaction, luncheon speakers, and opportunities to network with others. Water and wastewater operators receive up to six training contact hours (TCHs) for each day attended. Participation in the entire conference offers 12 hours of TCHs.
This conference is held in “The County” to complement similar annual events offered by the Maine Water Environment Association (MeWEA) and the Maine Water Utilities Association (MWUA). Since those events generally take place in the southern region of the state, the NCC is designed to bring the benefits of those events to the people of northern Maine.
