2022 NSWCA Pres. Peterson Honors NSWCA Outgoing Pres. Field

March 18, 2022; Locust Valley, NY– At a recent meeting of the Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA) held at Spuntino Restaurant in Williston Park, 2022 NSWCA President and Locust Valley Water District Commissioner Patricia Peterson presented outgoing NSWCA President and Plainview Water District Commissioner Amanda R. Field with an engraved plaque recognizing Commissioner Field with NSWCA’s “Presidential Award” for her contributions as 2021 NSWCA President as well as her serving as NSWCA Board member since 2018.

During her tenure as NSWCA President, Commissioner Field directed NSWCA positions on water treatment, advocacy, conservation, sustainability and the state of the aquifer. She actively represented the organization in meetings on Long Island and in Albany while increasing the recognition of the organization through outreach and dissemination of information regarding the responsibilities and importance of voter-elected, commissioner-run water districts.

Commissioner Field successfully continued the 2021 NSWCA Speaker Series at in-person and virtual meetings that featured luminaries such as former Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, Nassau County Fire Commission Chairman Francis X. DeBobes, Nassau County Civil Service Commission Deputy Executive Director Deborah Welt, and many others.

NSWCA President Peterson commented, “On behalf of the Board and the members of the Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association, I thank Commissioner Amanda Field for all her efforts and services at the helm of this great organization. In an era where COVID has presented daily challenges, Commissioner Field’s leadership has prevailed in promoting positioning and messaging that are so important to our membership as well as to the vast communities across Long Island that our members represent.”
