He was instrumental in founding the New Jersey Section, serving as Secretary, Vice President and President. His interest in people, his knowledge of water resources, his advocacy of causes he believed in and his commitment to ensuring that institutions and organizations he cared about would thrive and endure, made Peter Homack a most exemplary member of AWRA.
