Edward N. Nazaretian (1938-2015)

The Edward N. Nazaretian Memorial Fund was established in September 2017 to honor Ed’s personal and professional contributions to NEWEA, and to support the mission and activities of the NEWEA Young Professionals Committee.

Ed Nazaretian (1938-2015) believed the key to professional success was through networking with others in the water environment field – whether clients, colleagues or competitors – and mentoring the next generation. Because today’s young professionals will be tomorrow’s leaders and mentors, the Ed Nazaretian Memorial Fund was established to provide financial support for NEWEA’s Young Professionals Committee.
