The ACWA Board of Directors has named long-time staff member Tiffany Giammona as Acting Executive Director, following the resignation of Dave Eggerton.

Giammona, the Senior Director of Operations and Member Engagement, has worked at ACWA since 2006. As Acting Executive Director, she will report to the Board and oversee day-to-day operations of the association and staff in Sacramento and Washington D.C. until an Interim Executive Director is announced in the coming weeks.

“Dave’s passion for ACWA’s mission, members and staff will be missed,” said ACWA President Cathy Green. “As we launch our search for a new Executive Director, I have full confidence in ACWA staff’s ability to continue serving our members through strong advocacy and leadership throughout the water industry.”

Eggerton was appointed Executive Director in 2018 and previously served as General Manager of the Calaveras County Water District. During his tenure he successfully led efforts to protect and strengthen the interests of ACWA members at the state and federal levels.

“I am so grateful for the support I have received throughout my two-decade career in water from so many exceptional public servants in our industry who similarly share an unwavering commitment to dedicating the entirety of their life’s work to helping others,” Eggerton stated. “It has been the honor of my life to have been entrusted by you with caring for the brilliant professionals on staff at ACWA whose talents and heart are second to none. Their historic accomplishments each of the last six years speak for themselves and will never be forgotten. As I depart for the next chapter of my career, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reaffirming my belief in the goodness of humanity and inspiration of service to others.”

The Board of Directors is moving forward with a nationwide recruitment and hopes to announce a new Executive Director later this year.
