On December 1, 1979, the Board of Directors of the Iowa Water Well Association established the Ber Zander Award in memory of Berwyn Zander. Zander was a well drilling contractor from Coulter, Iowa. He started well drilling in January 1951 and went into business for himself in September 1953.
Berwyn was the secretary/treasurer of the association from January 1955 until his death in September 1975. Berwyn Zander’s contribution to the association and the water well industry has been unequaled by any person or persons in the State of Iowa.
This award is to be given to an individual who has given time and devotion to the water well industry and the people of the State of Iowa. The Ber Zander Award will not necessarily be awarded annually, but only when someone has demonstrated a high degree of devotion to their fellow man and a concern for the water well industry.
The Board of Directors of the Iowa Water Well Association serves as the selection committee for the award. Nominations are to be submitted by December 20th, with announcement of the award at the 2025 IWWA Annual Convention & Trade Show.
