SMALL SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT SCHOLARSHIP The Rocky Mountain Section of the American Water Works Association is again sponsoring a Management Training Scholarship.  The scholarship will be awarded for 2007 to a supervisory or management person working in a small-or medium-sized water utility (those serving a population of 12,000 persons or fewer).  The only qualification is that the applicant must be an employee of a water utility in Colorado, Wyoming, or New Mexico.

The scholarship is awarded annually to allow awardees to attend the AWWA-sponsored institute at the University of Utah.  The institute is an intensive, interactive, five-day workshop aimed at providing primary instruction and practical training in management and leadership techniques to help water and wastewater managers effectively meet the demands confronting utilities in the contemporary setting.  The exact dates of the training vary each year, but are typically held between January and April.

A committee has been set up to receive and review the applications and select an award recipient.  Application deadline is July 1, 2008.

The scholarship will pay for costs associated with tuition for one course, room, board, and travel up to a limit of $2,000.  Contact for questions:
