The Fuller Award is presented annually by AWWA to selected chapter members for their distinguished service to the water supply field in commemoration of George Warren Fuller (1868 - 1934).

As director of environmental engineering services at RETTEW, DiMagno oversees the day-to-day operations of the environmental engineering group and provides coaching and mentoring to the service area staff. DiMagno also leads the department's efforts in business development, client relationship management and marketing.
