Established in 2010, the NACWA Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who, through their actions and commitment to the organization, have made a significant positive impact on either the evolution of the Association or its ability to effectively represent the interest of the clean water community on a particular issue.  Individuals formerly representing, or affiliated with, a NACWA Member Agency or formerly affiliated with the Association as a senior staff executive are exclusively eligible for this honor.
