NWRA FILA Board Elects New Members for 2021

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): NWRA Future Industry Leaders Alliance (FILA) Board recently held a meeting to select the 2021 board, review FILA’s operating guidelines and discuss this year’s agenda. FILA is a member-directed association dedicated to promoting the development and advancement of the next generation of the waste and recycling industry’s leaders. Members engage in meaningful education, professional development, networking and mentoring opportunities to advance their careers in the industry.

FILA members receive professional development opportunities in all areas of leadership, including but not limited to finance and accounting, human resources, operations, safety, public policy and advocacy and business development. Members participate in facility tours, global exchanges and networking to learn about emerging technologies and trends in the industry. FILA strongly encourages its members to participate in FILA-sponsored volunteer opportunities and charitable giving in an effort to give back to both the industry and the communities in which our member organizations serve.

“FILA is an important part of NWRA’s effort to recruit the industry’s next generation of leaders and to provide professional development opportunities for those seeking senior leadership and executive roles,” said NWRA President and CEO Darrell Smith. “NWRA welcomes the 2021 FILA board members and looks forward to working with them on new ideas and goals.”

The board will continue to meet monthly to discuss this year’s agenda, which will feature participation in WasteExpo 2021, participation in NWRA’s Executive Leadership Roundtable (ELRT), the FILA Fall Summit (restrictions permitting), new marketing, social media and membership efforts and more.
