2014 Annual Report
By Jason Menchhofer, R.S. Board Chair.

• WasteWater Education has established a reputation for innovation and excellence ~ however our ability to produce such excellence on a shoestring, often with volunteer expertise works against us when submitting funding proposals. Judge us by our programs – not our budget.
• Our budget is minimal, underneath the threshold for an Annual Audit, but performing a CPA Audit is imperative to attach to major proposals.
• It is an uphill battle to overcome many of the myths held by the public, municipalities and funding agencies – that wastewater education IS an environmental and public health initiative and that wastewater service and energy consumption are linked.
• In FY2013-14 the organization posted a small loss of $873

Goals for 2014-15

• As identified at the 2014 Board Retreat:

1. Assembling a team of service providers to craft a meaningful, online, on-demand, Continuing Septage Education set of classes for MI and other states.
2. Expand Social Media activity – with emphasis on LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ .
3. Strengthen Partnerships to offer online, on-demand continuing education classes with national, state and local entities.
   Our philosophy is simple – 50% of something is preferable to 0% of nothing.
4. Expansion of Google Hangouts – YouTube guest events, Tuesday@Two, Regulator Round Table, Flushed With Success – fully utilizing Adobe Connect based productions.
5. H2Outstanding Circle of Friends – fill the full 12 Underwriter spots.
