Welcome!

Environmental Professionals of Arizona (EPAZ) is the premier environmental professional organization in Arizona. Our membership is comprised of state, industry, and business leaders including: regulatory, academia, environmental consultants and engineers, as well as environmental services companies dedicated to promoting environmental stewardship.

EPAZ events and activities foster networking, communication, and cooperation between industry, business, and government. We provide a platform that allows our members to learn and share information within a diverse list of environmental disciplines including air, water, waste, pollution prevention, sustainability issues, safety and climate change.

Founded in 1986 as the HAZWaste Society, EPAZ is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation operated by a dedicated group of volunteers.
