Herndon Receives National Rural Water Association’s
Asset Management Peer Leadership Award!
Rick Herndon, Asset Management Field
Representative for National Rural Water Association, received highest
honors from his peers when he was named the 2004 Asset Management Field
Representative of the Year. Peer Leadership Awards were presented at
NRWA’s 18th Annual In-Service Training Seminar held in Colorado
Springs, Colorado.
The NRWA Peer Leadership Awards program was
established to recognize the outstanding efforts of Rural Water
Association representatives. Of the NRWA Asset Management Field Staff,
Herndon was honored for his dedication and service to water and wastewater
utilities.
The Asset Management Program was started by
NRWA to provide technical support to borrowers whose FmHA loans were sold
to the private sector in 1987. Along with the other 11 field reps,
Herndon travels numerous miles every year to ensure the repayment of
millions of dollars in loans.
The National Rural Water Association is a
federation of 48 State Rural Water Associations serving over 23,501 water
and wastewater utility members in 49 states with additional programs in
Honduras and Puerto Rico.
NRWA members form a solid foundation for Team
Rural Water. Upholding the motto of “Quality On Tap!,” Rural Water
Associations provide small communities in every state with management and
technical resources to supply safe and affordable water.
