Great Lakes Recreational Water Quality Association

["Gary White" <Gary.White@co.macomb.mi.us>]

Hello! My name is Gary White and I have been nominated for the Board of Directors of the Great Lakes Recreational Water Quality Association.  l was asked to tell you a little about myself.

I have worked at the Macomb County (Michigan) Health Department for nearly 25 years and I am responsible for all water and waste disposal related programs in the Department.  We have a long history in bathing beach monitoring, dating all the way back to the late 1940's.  We currently monitor four beaches on Lake St. Clair and two inland beaches.  Beach closures have received a great deal of attention in Macomb County and have resulted in the establishment of additional monitoring and source identification efforts.

I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Michigan Tech and a Master of Science in Industrial Hygiene from Wayne State University.  I live in St. Clair County with my wife, Candy, and two sons, Patrick (10) and Noah (6).  My wife will complete her Secondary Teaching Certificate this fall, with endorsements in general science and biology. 

I would like to see the Association become a forum for the dissemination of information obtained from academic research and hands-on experiences of the members.  This group will prove to be a good way to link the researchers with the practioners.  There are a lot of questions and answers out there; we just have to get the people who have them together more often!
