About RMSS

The Air and Waste Management Association was founded in 1905. It is a non-profit technical, scientific, and educational organization with more than 7,000 members in 65 countries. Local member units called Sections and Chapters have been formed within the AWMA to provide for addressing regional and local issues and facilitate better interaction at the local level for members. The Rocky Mountain States Section (RMSS) is comprised of members from Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, and eastern Nevada. There are two Chapter organizations within the section; one is in Utah - the Great Basin Chapter; and the other is in New Mexico - the New Mexico Chapter.

There are about 350 AWMA members in the region considered the Rocky Mountain States Section. The RMSS membership includes decision makers from: the local, state, and federal environmental agencies; industry; business; consulting; and the academic and research communities. The chapters within the Rocky Mountain States Region sponsor meetings on topics of interest to the association membership.
