UPDATE to NMRWA’s 2020 Annual Conference:
In an abundance of caution, and in compliance with the New Mexico State Department of Health’s requirement that no large meetings be held as a result of the COVID-19 virus outbreak, New Mexico Rural Water Association has cancelled its 2020 Annual Conference.
We will maintain all conference registrations received and have them in place for NMRWA’s 2021 Annual Conference. The dates and location of the 2021 conference will be announced later this year.
NMRWA’s Fall Conference is still scheduled for November 17-19, 2020.
If anyone who has paid Annual Conference registration fees that would like a refund, please email bill@nullnmrwa.org with your request and your payment will be refunded.
We regret the inconvenience, but our concern is always for the well being of our members, our staff, and our entire rural water community.
We hope to see you in Las Cruces November 17-19 for our Fall Conference, and next year for the 2021 NMRWA Annual Conference!
