AWWA2020: A Path to One AWWAFramework for the Future • The report sets a direction with five specific Strategic Themes as guides for a 2020 future of One AWWA • Within each Strategic Theme there are Strategic Tactics many of which require further evaluation • The Final Report (June 8, 2014) is a high-level summary of the detailed AWWA2020 Appendix (the Appendix contains important information not summarized in the Final Report)
AWWA2020: A Path to One AWWAWhy is this guiding document important? • Strategic clarity: AWWA’s most important and strategic business relationship is between the Association and Sections • Alignment fulfillment: Affiliation Agreements, governance model, mission, and the strategic plan all anticipate or are based on alignment throughout AWWA • Sustainable future: One AWWA is a stronger business model; AWWA is our guide to that future
Proposed ResolutionAn Overview The BOD adopted a resolution that will serve as guidance to the implementation of the SP2 Final Report (June 8, 2014). The resolution does the following: • One AWWA: Approve the main recommendation of creating “One AWWA” • Strategic Themes: Approve the implementation of the Strategic Themes • Everyone Participates: Sets the expectation that all AWWA organizations actively participate in the implementation of the AWWA2020 Strategic Themes • More Work to Be Done: Provides flexibility for the specific Theme Tactics to be refined and evolve as needed • Time and Reporting: Acknowledges that implementation will occur over time and that the AWWA Board of Directors expects status reports
Proposed Resolution NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Board of Directors of the American Water Works Association approves the Special Presidential Panel’s main recommendation of creating “One AWWA” through the implementation of the general strategic themes outlined in the report AWWA2020: A Path to One AWWA. Further the Board affirms that to become “One AWWA” it is critical that all AWWA organizations actively participate in the implementation of the AWWA2020 strategic themes. Also by approving the strategic themes the Board provides flexibility for the specific theme tactics to be refined and evolve as needed. Finally the AWWA Board of Directors realize that the implementation of the plan is intended to occur over time but without undue delay and with regular reports to the AWWA Board of Directors on the implementation’s status.
