Judd Larned, the President of Culligan Water North America, has been appointed as the new President of the Water Quality Association (WQA) for the 2024-25 term.
Larned succeeded Amanda Moore, CWS, the Vice President of Atlantic Filter Corporation, during the 2024 WQA Convention & Exposition.
As the new WQA President, Larned brings experience in both the manufacturing and dealership sectors.
He aims to lead the association through a strategic planning phase, refining its key goals, which include advancing industry knowledge and professionalism, increasing advocacy, and driving public awareness and knowledge.
Larned expressed his enthusiasm for WQA’s role in helping millions of people access better water, stating, “I look forward to collaborating with industry peers and fellow WQA members as we advance our commitment to consumers.”
Since 2015, Larned has served as the President of Culligan’s North American operations, overseeing product development, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution in collaboration with the Culligan Dealer network.
“How can we invest and prioritize those thing that are most important,” said Larned. “I think what we’ll see with the next strategic plan is starting to articulate that in a way that is exciting for the member base, but also something we can talk to the industry about.”
“The more we get involved collectively, the stronger WQA is,” said Larned .
