Member Awards
Today's innovation is tomorrow's industry standard. As leaders in the field of water systems management, it's our responsibility to set the bar high so it can serve as a guide for all utility professionals.
If your company has instituted an innovative program with proven benefits for your customers, business operations, and the water industry as a whole, we invite you to share it by participating in our annual awards competition. We have been recognizing members for their pioneering and industry-changing ideas with NAWC's Management Innovation Awards for over 35 years.
Entries may be in the area of administration, finance, engineering, operations, human resources, customer relations and communications — basically any company-related activity — as long as it is moving water forward in a significant way. Winners are chosen by a panel of water industry professionals with a range of expertise.

And next year, we’re excited to announce that we’re expanding our member awards to not only include the best of management but the best examples of Security and Safety in the industry as well. The Security & Safety Innovation Awards will be sponsored by NAWC’s Security and Safety committee and more info is forthcoming.
