Applications Due By:

(Received Electronically)

NACWA is now accepting applications for its Excellence in Management Recognition Program (EIM).  The EIM Recognition Program was launched in 2003 to recognize the significant achievements of Member Agencies in the utility management arena. The Program honors Member Agencies that have adopted successful management practices that address the range of challenges faced by public clean water utilities in today’s competitive environment.

Since 2007, the EIM Program has recognized utilities for progress toward implementation of the Ten Attributes of Effectively Managed Water Sector Utilities (Attributes).  The Program was enhanced in 2012 with the addition of Resource Efficiency & Protection Activities (Activities) and the incorporation of Platinum, Gold, and Silver levels of recognition.  Please see the Excellence in Management application  and accompanying listing of Attributes & Activities  for all the information needed to apply.  Sample successful applications have been provided on the NACWA website for reference.  Applications must be forwarded electronically to kbrocato@nacwa.org no later than April 30, 2014.

Who May Apply for Recognition?

Any NACWA Public Member Agency in good standing may apply for recognition. 

How Will Honorees Be Selected for Recognition?

Each EIM application will be reviewed by members of NACWA’s Awards Committee.  The EIM Recognition Program is non-competitive.  Each application will be evaluated individually and all deemed by the Awards Committee to meet the Program’s criteria will receive recognition.  Applications that do not meet the minimum qualifications for the selected recognition category will be considered for other categories, when appropriate.

Get Recognized!

EIM honorees will be recognized during NACWA’s 2014 Summer Conference, Executive Utility Leadership… Today & Tomorrow, July 13 - 16, 2014, at The Nines in Portland, Oregon.
