Spill Control Association of America (SCAA) Regional Meetings

SCAA Regional meetings are designed to accomplish three main goals:

  • Increase SCAA name-recognition, mission and overall awareness to local agencies and stakeholders
  • Provide opportunities for existing SCAA member companies to expose more of their employees to SCAA and its mission
  • Increase SCAA membership by inviting local non-member companies, and exposing them to the benefits of SCAA
