The Outreach & Engagement Subcommittee connects new and existing members to the AWBD community and the Association’s ongoing and future work. This subcommittee develops a strategy to reach out to potential Association members and engage new and existing members of the At-Large AWBD community. It works with the Executive Director, Board, and other Association committees to develop and implement engagement activities that connect members, both informally and through Association-wide events and programs.
The Recognition Subcommittee develops, sustains, and adds effective members to AWBD by motivating a strong “team” relationship by showing that AWBD appreciates its members’ hard work and dedication. Every “EFFORT” matters. Recognition is a significant part of AWBD’s plan to improve future endeavors and projects and to motivate members to stay connected to AWBD and play more pivotal roles in their communities’ successes.
The Water Smart Subcommittee assists AWBD members in implementing practices that reduce water use and educate customers in water conservation. The Committee focuses on community involvement, communicating with their consumers, and offering diverse resources, such as permission to use the Water Smart logo. Water Smart is a public awareness campaign for water conservation sponsored by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Water Development Board. Its message is simple: every citizen, no matter what age or where they live, has a personal responsibility to use water wisely.
