ASSOCIATION UPDATES
With a name change comes a fresh new website! Visit https://www.ctrwwa.org/ today to access your member benefits, view upcoming trainings, past board meeting minutes, and so much more. While our name has changed, our mission has not! We hope you will enjoy the new site and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our email address has changed to ctrwwa@ctrwwa.org I am delighted to be officially a part of the Rural Water Family and serve as the Connecticut Rural Water and Wastewater Association’s new Executive Director. I am excited to meet every member of the new CTRWWA. Since coming onboard, I’ve hit the ground running, meeting with national officers, consultants, system/plant operators and administrators. We’re committed to serving you and providing you with the best resources and training there is to offer. Last week, I attended the WaterPro Conference, and I was absolutely amazed by the number of attendees present representing associations around the country. Being a part of the WaterPro conference was a tremendous experience and I greatly enjoyed the guest speakers and seminars that I attended. Lastly, I am glad to have had the opportunity to meet quite a few of the Executive Directors of various states, NRWA Board of Directors members and staff. Over the coming weeks and months, I look forward to meeting many more Water Superintendents, System Operators and others. As we look to grow the membership of new Connecticut Rural Water and Wastewater Association, we are committed to helping all the Water Utilities in Connecticut succeed. Yours in service, Greetings, all! I hope you all are doing well. For those who traveled to the WaterPro Conference, I hope you had safe travels and were able to meet our new Executive Director, T.J. Clarke. CTRWWA is moving in a positive direction under T.J.’s guidance. We are pleased with his current performance and look forward to seeing him grow in the industry. We would also like to thank NRWA for all their help with building the foundation of our association and assisting with the name change transition. Even with our name change, our mission remains the same. All systems should feel completely free to reach out for any assistance. We are here to help and will offer all that we can. I am looking forward to continuing to serve as your board president. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. – Marty Cormier, Board President
