Minnesota Rural Water
Association Receives
Newsletter of the Year!
National Rural Water Association is pleased
to announce that Minnesota Rural Water Association is the recipient of
the Excellence in Newsletters Award presented during NRWA’s Annual
Tribute to Excellence Awards Ceremony held in Sacramento, California on
October 12.
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 Technical Assistance (TA) Times
is well designed, well written and full of important issues facing the
membership of Minnesota’s Rural Water Family. It also includes training
schedules and appealing graphics.
The Minnesota Rural Water Association was
created in 1978 as a non-profit trade association of rural water and
wastewater systems. The association is staffed with full-time personnel
trained to offer professional on-site technical assistance and training
to water and wastewater systems in managerial, financial, operation and
maintenance of systems, as well as source water protection.
MRWA is funded through grants, contracts
and memberships to allow the association to offer services at no charge
to community water and wastewater systems and rural water districts with
populations under 10,000.
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
24,558 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.
