Journal Committee
The Journal Committee has two main goals, we:
- Gather technical articles for publishing in the Journal
- Assemble and edit all the content of the Journal for publication, with the goal of expanding technical knowledge throughout our membership and beyond
Each year, we ask for four volunteers as Guest Editors to help review technical papers in preparation for the quarterly publication. In addition, the committee members work with the NEWEA Council Directors to obtain insight on papers they have reviewed for acceptance at the Annual Conference and Specialty conferences throughout the year. We also gather Industry news for a section of the Journal and an updates from the WEF Delegates, State Directors, NEWEA Student Scholarship winning Essays, and information on membership and advertisement.
