Meet the Presenter:
John Chandler, P.E., Water Resources Technical Lead, Puget Sound Energy
John manages an average of 1.9 million acre-feet of water per year at the Baker Project, a 200 MW, two reservoir hydroelectric facility. He works with several departments to modernize Puget Sound Energy's (PSE) water management program to help work out the difficulties the new license has in operations. As the technical lead, he supports analyses in several departments including Dam Safety, the Integrated Resources Plan, Trade Floor, Dispatch Center, Generating Facilities, Resources Sciences & Asset Management, and more.

Results of this year's AWRA-WA Board Election will be announced prior to John's presentation. AWRA-WA members in good financial standing should have received an email from ElectionBuddy to vote for next year's Board of Directors. If you did not receive an invitation to vote but feel you should have, please contact waawra.webmaster@gmail.com before December 8th for assistance.
