Dear Member,

We are starting the ORWA Awards nominations process early this year to allow our members more time to submit their nominees.  This will also allow our Awards Committee more time to review nominees and perform any follow up interviews or other work that may be necessary in making their selections.

Awards are an important ORWA tradition.  We have been giving awards for more than a quarter century.  For us, nothing is more satisfying than having the opportunity to recognize the professionalism and accomplishments of outstanding individuals and rural water systems.  

 Please assist us in identifying deserving operators, managers, bookkeepers and systems for consideration for this years awards.  Complete the attached forms(s) for the system or employee you wish to nominate and return to:

ORWA
P.O. Box 95349
Oklahoma City, OK 73143-5349

Please submit no later than December 14, 2007.  Awards will be presented at the ORWA 38^th Annual Meeting in April 2008.

Please call us at 800-375-6792 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Gene Whatley
Executive Director
