Receives Newsletter of the Year!

 

National Rural Water Association is pleased to announce that the Rural Water Association of Utah is the recipient of the Excellence in Newsletters Award presented during NRWA’s Annual Tribute to Excellence Awards Ceremony held in Biloxi, Mississippi October 13.

A newsletter can be a valuable tool for keeping the association members current on a timely basis in between magazine publication dates.  Newsletters, also inform members about individual programs or areas of special interest.  The criteria for selection: overall visual appeal, content, ease of readability, promotion of rural water, and input from program personnel.

The Rural Water News is well designed, well written and full of important issues facing the membership of Utah’s Rural Water Family.  It also includes training schedules and appealing graphics.

The Rural Water Association of Utah (RWAU) was created in 1980 as a non-profit trade association of rural water and wastewater systems.  Since the beginning days of the Association, RWAU has grown to become a nationally recognized Rural Water Association and the preferred provider of training and on-site assistance for small systems in Utah.  RWAU’s goals include:  helping systems provide quality services to their customers, representing the rural water and wastewater industry in legislative issues, and promoting professionalism among water and wastewater personnel.  RWAU was selected for this prestigious award from a field of 48 state associations.

The NRWA Awards in Excellence program was established to recognize the outstanding efforts of the Member State Affiliates, their staff, and special members of the rural water industry. 

The National Rural Water Association is a non-profit federation of State Rural Water Associations.  Its mission: to provide state associations with support services to meet the needs of their membership.  NRWA is America’s largest utility association with over 24,550 members.

Historically, NRWA’s state associations have trained over 55,000 water and wastewater system personnel each year for two decades.  They also provide over 90,000 on-site technical assistance visits a year.
