Everyday, the citizens of North Carolina turn on their taps to get clean water, and flush their toilets completely unaware of the network of pipes, pumps, and facilities involved in providing these services. More important than the infrastructure involved in these processes, are the PEOPLE that make it all work - designing, building, installing, operating, maintaining, fixing, and serving. Often times, these professionals - YOU - are content to go unnoticed, satisfied with completing a job well done. NC AWWA-WEA wants you to know that YOU are appreciated, and wants YOU to be recognized!

NC AWWA-WEA, through several volunteer-supported committees, offers over 25 awards annually, to hard-working, dedicated, and deserving water/wastewater professionals, and we want to recognize YOU with these awards. There are currently 14 separate awards seeking nominations. We need you to look around your facility, utility, office, and company and see who's doing an outstanding job? Who found an innovative solution to a challenge? Who solved a problem that stumped everyone else? Who made everyone's work-life a little easier or better?

Nominating someone for an award is easy. While the process can differ slightly for each award, it typically involves completing the nomination form found in the 2016 Award Nomination Book, and submitting it with any supporting materials to NC AWWA-WEA staff by the listed deadline.

Please take a few minutes to review the list of awards accepting open nominations and the additional information provided in the 2016 Award Nomination Book and consider making a nomination. If you have any questions about the process, or a specific award, please let us know.

Completed award nominations may be submitted to Rebecca Aguie, NC AWWA-WEA Engagement & Outreach Coordinator at raguie@ncsafewater.org. You can also contact Rebecca at (919) 784-9030 x1001.
