With Hawai'i on board NRWA will represent utilities in all 50 states. <p class="auto-style8"> Member utilities in Hawai'i will elect a Board of Directors who will then elect a Director to serve on the National Board. Each state has one member on the National Board providing equal input. <p class="auto-style8"> Hawai'i Rural Water will administer training and technical assistance programs and direct the association's future at the state level to meet local needs with programs, services and products. <p class="auto-style8"> Hawai'i Rural Water, with your support and involvement, will become a major player ensuring resources and directing water policy on a national level in Washington, D C.<p class="auto-style8"> <b><a href="SupportLetters.pdf" class="body" target="blank">Hawai'i Rural Water Association letters of support </a></b> <!------------------------------------------------------------------> <hr width="850px" size="1" color="#8bddf3" align="left"> <p class="auto-style8"> <!------------------------------------------------------------------> <i><font size="2" face="Georgia" color="#ffffff"> All information &copy; Hawai'i Rural Water Association 2012. <!------------------------------------------------------------------> </DIV> <div id="layer2" class="auto-style1" style="position: absolute; width: 293px; height: 48px; z-index: 2; left: 648px; top: 34px"> <span class="auto-style13"><a href="2012-02-22/waterleakproblem1.wmv">Water Loss is<br>sometimes not what we think.</a><br></span><span class="auto-style14">click here</span><span class="auto-style13"><br> <br></span></div> </div> </body> </html>
