During Thursday's Award Luncheon, Dick Sprague with
HDR read a poem welcoming Laurie Batchelder Adams as SWANA's president.
Ode to Laurie Batchelder Adams
By The Colorado Rocky Mountain Chapter
There once was a lady from Colorado named Laurie
About whom we all can tell quite an amazing story.
In solid waste, she entered our state like a nor’easter
And for a dozen years, proved that it is hard to resist ‘er.
Of companies large and small, she was a member
And onto our chapter board she breezed one September.
She soon volunteered to join a strange group called the IB
Which led to her enshrinement in the hallowed halls of ivy.
For many years, she served as our board’s tie to the mother ship
And helped us better serve and educate our membership.
She often brought news of recent solid waste trends nationwide
Which helped our chapter become more widely diversified.
Her election as President, has made us so proud
That we cannot but hold in our collective shout aloud.
You have been a creative gift to our chapter
And we have a gift for your Presidential hereafter.
