Inclusion in a Professional Network - Even online!
SWANA membership gives you the opportunity to interact with other solid waste professionals and develop a professional network that will be an invaluable asset to your career. Online network allows you instant access to members and information to help you expand your network.
eLibrary
The eLibrary is a resource filled with over 1,000 presentations from previous SWANA events. You can search the library to find articles of interest and use sub-libraries containing documents pertinent to different aspects of solid waste to help get you started. SWANA has developed a user’s guide to the e-library available HERE to help you navigate the library. As you review the library and user’s guide, please let us know if there is information not contained in the guide that could make your eLibrary experience better.
SWANA Chapter Membership
As a member, you'll also become a member of one of SWANA's 45 Chapters, helping you to connect with other solid waste professionals in meaningful ways to advance yourself both personally and professionally. Led by dedicated volunteers, each chapter works hard to keep their members informed on the latest issues and trends in their local industry. Many chapters have their own newsletters, host local tours and events, provide training opportunities and advise their elected officials on behalf of the profession as well as informal networking events such as golf outings and ROAD-E-O contests.
