The Water Environment Federation (WEF) has elected Sarah Reeves, vice president of Brown and Caldwell, as a Fellow of the organization.
WEF is a not-for-profit association that provides technical education and training for water quality professionals worldwide. The peer-nominated Fellow designation recognizes members’ achievements, stature, and contributions to the preservation and enhancement of the water profession.
With over 25 years of experience, Denver-based Reeves has amassed specific expertise in water quality policy and regulation, focused on developing and driving stakeholder involvement to influence solutions for community and environmental benefit.
As director of treatability services at Brown and Caldwell, she works with the firm’s technical experts and industry innovators to identify, test at a bench- and pilot-scale, and implement solutions to help municipalities, private industry, and government agencies overcome the most complex water-related challenges.
Furthermore, she leads the Colorado Monitoring Framework, a non-profit organization consisting of industry leaders who collaborate to tackle statewide water quality issues, including nutrient removal and contaminants of concern, such as PFAS.
Reeves has been involved with WEF for 24 years. She has been chair and vice chair of the federation’s Program Committee and is a member of its WEFTEC Advisory and Operator Scholarship Committees. She is a co-chair of the 2023 WEF/AWWA Utility Management Conference and is engaged with her local member WEF association, the Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association, helping with committee planning, mentoring, and collaboration.
“I am delighted Sarah’s peers have awarded her dedication to the water profession with this prestigious recognition,” says Wendy Broley, Brown and Caldwell’s chief technical officer. “Her leadership, technical knowledge, passion for collaboration, and commitment to giving back have helped advance the industry for the betterment of our environment for future generations.”
