I would like to thank the National Association of Wastewater Transporters membership, state associations of NAWT and COLE Publishing for believing in a common goal of bringing professionalism, integrity, new ideas and solid work ethic to the industry.

As NAWT members, we need to keep pushing ourselves to help improve the local environment and the communities where we raise our families and do business. I encourage members of NAWT to join the board of directors and volunteer time in their state associations, as we need to stand together as one voice for the industry, not just a bunch of little voices not being heard by the government. 

NAWT is a great association, and I wish the new president and vice president the best of luck. I have made many friends while serving on the board of NAWT, and learned a great deal about state associations and the inner workings of NAWT.

New Perspective on Education Programs

Spring is here and NAWT is exploring new options for education programming. We would like to offer additional ways to obtain your continuing education units to maintain industry certification. NAWT has always strived to provide professional instruction, along with practical up-to-date knowledge that we need as industry professionals.

We’ve sent a survey to a number of organizations and state associations to craft an educational platform that meets your requirements. For example, NAWT has worked with Colorado and Arizona to present basic soils and site evaluation workshops as requested by the states. The workshops involve both classroom lectures and onsite field activities, including practicing writing soil descriptions in the field.

If you are interested in taking the survey or if you would like to discuss ideas that might be pertinent to your state, we encourage you to share input on education programs. Continuing education is an important way to maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve and maintain high standards in the industry. These opportunities broaden our knowledge and give us necessary skills through participation in onsite activities.

NAWT would like to hear how we can explore other opportunities for you.
