On September 27, 2022, the National Rural Water Association Board of Directors unanimously elected our very own John D. O’Connell, III, as their new President. A ceremony for the “passing of the gavel” was conducted on Thursday, September 29, 2022, in National Harbor, MD. John has served in every capacity on the Board of Directors for the NYRWA over his 25 years of service to our association. He has also served on the NRWA Board of Directors for the past 24 years. John begins his two-year term as NRWA President immediately and will serve through September 2024. Please join us in congratulating John and his family on this amazing accomplishment!
