James C. Nelson, PE, Vice President of Allen & Hoshall, is the recipient of the 2012 George Warren Fuller Award from the Alabama-Mississippi Section of the American Water Works Association. The award is given annually to a member for distinguished service to the water supply field in commemoration of sound engineering skill, talent and leadership.
Mr. Nelson, a Jackson native and graduate of Mississippi State University, is a former chair and board of trustees’ member of the Alabama-Mississippi Section of the American Water Works Association.
The recognition was announced by AWWA Vice President Jim Chaffee during the Alabama-Mississippi Section of the American Water Works Association Annual Conference on October 4th in Biloxi, Miss.
“Jimmy is a well-deserved recipient of this honor. Besides being a past officer, he continues to be very involved and effective in the leadership of the organization,” said Hunter Arnold, outgoing Chair of the Alabama-Mississippi Section of the American Water Works Association.
Mr. Nelson will also be recognized nationally at the American Water Works Association 2012 Conference in Dallas, TX in June. Award recipients become members of the George Warren Fuller Award Society of the American Water Works Association.
