Strategic Plan

At AWT we define ourselves by holding onto our values, while embracing the excitement of the future.

The plan reflects the collaborative efforts of the entire AWT community and the aspirations of that community for our great association.

AWT is focusing on four strategic outcomes.

• Outcome 3: An Engaged Membership: AWT has increased its membership and is known for enhanced communication that encourages a diverse, engaged membership to continuously design a relevant association.
• Outcome 4: Charity Focused on Water: AWT demonstrates its commitment to global clean water as “the first environmentalists” through its charitable pursuits related to water.
