Statement from Outgoing WEDA Chairman Bill Hanson

As our most recent annual meeting in Nashville concludes I wanted to say thank you for allowing me to serve you as President and then Chairman for the last four years. You have allowed me to do what one of things I most love to do most and that is to talk about dredging. Channeling my passion for our industry and WEDA in service to you all has been one of the highlights of my career (so far). The incoming chairman Paul Quinn and president Bob Wetta are even more passionate and anxious to elevate WEDA’s status and reputation working with our Executive Director Larry Patella and the other members of the Board of Directors. I ask that you each seek to contribute your own time and talents in service to WEDA’s core mission education at every possible moment and work for the common good of our dredging community.

Thanks again.
