2022 Operator Certification Board Vacancies

The Water and Wastewater Facility Operators Certification Board (WWFOCB) is a 10-member rulemaking body with oversight responsibility for the operator certification program and Regulation 100 plus supporting policies. Members are appointed by the governor to serve four-year terms. The board usually meets up to 10 times a year for half-day meetings. There is also an annual day-long training session, usually in August. While board members volunteer their time, they are entitled to reimbursement of travel expenses.

Currently, there is a vacancy on the WWFOCB:

• A member to achieve geographical representation and to reflect the various interests in the water and wastewater facility certification program. This board member must reside west of the continental divide. This board member is not required to be a certified operator.

The most effective board members have a strong interest in supporting public health and environmental protection through the operator certification program. They are good listeners who can articulate their perspectives in a professional and respectful way. When there is a difference of opinions, effective board members work toward building consensus.

If you are interested in serving on the WWFOCB, and you meet the criteria for the vacancy, please apply online at the Governor’s Office of Boards and Commissions.
