The attached Peak Performance Award Application Packet provides you with complete details and information to apply for recognition.  Applications for the 2007 Peak Performance Awards Program are due by April 11, 2008.  NACWA has made applying for Peak Performance recognition easier – now facilities may complete and submit their applications in the following ways:
