The Drinking Water Research Foundation (DWRF) announced the creation of the Alan A. Leff Memorial Lecture Fund.
Named in honor of Alan A. Leff, Ph.D., the memorial fund will provide financial support for lectures on important issues related to the water industry.
“The goal of these lectures is to provide important insight about the safety, quality, processing or production of water, and to consider issues concerning future challenges, opportunities and risks facing the water industry,” said Jack West, chairman, DWRF.
The inaugural lecture is scheduled to take place at the Museum of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., during the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Event’s 25th anniversary celebration in February 2015.
“Dr. Leff spent a significant portion of his career in the bottled water industry and was an active supporter of DWRF and the International Bottled Water Assn. In addition, he was active with the Asia/Middle East Bottled Water Assn., the Canadian Bottled Water Assn., and several state and regional bottled water associations. At the time of his passing, Dr. Leff worked at the Primo Water Corp.”
