The American Society of Sanitary Engineering recently announced that International President Richard J. Prospal has been elected to the World Plumbing Council’s Executive Board for the term ending September 2011.

The WPC has over 100 member organizations from more than 24 countries promoting their mission to ‘Unite the world plumbing industry to safeguard and protect the environment and the health of nations for the benefit of all’.

ASSE’s motto ‘Prevention Rather Than Cure’, developed over 100 years ago, fits perfectly into the mission of the WPC.

“Since it’s inception in 1906, ASSE has been involved in educating the industry and the public in the United States and Canada on the importance and necessity of good and safe plumbing practices. We, now, can take that same message to the world,” said Prospal.

Richard J. Prospal, of Prospal Consulting Services in Cleveland, OH, was elected International President of the
American Society of Sanitary Engineering at the Society’s Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Prospal has been very active in ASSE for the past 25 plus years. He has served as the Product Standards Committee Chair for 15 years, Scholarship Committee Chair for the last six years and a member of the Board of Directors for the last six years.

The American Society of Sanitary Engineering for plumbing and sanitary research is dedicated to the preservation
of public health and safety through ‘Prevention Rather Than Cure’.
