PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: June 2026

“TWUA is more than an association; it’s a family.”

As we move into the summer months, I continue to be inspired by the dedication, professionalism, and spirit of service that define the Texas Water Utilities Association. The first half of 2026 has been filled with opportunities to connect with members across the state, and each visit reinforces what makes TWUA such a special organization. Whether through regional schools, district meetings, training events, or simply conversations with fellow members, I am continually reminded that our greatest strength is our people.

The water and wastewater professionals of Texas face new challenges every day. Population growth, aging infrastructure, regulatory requirements, and workforce development continue to demand our attention. Yet through it all, TWUA members consistently rise to the occasion. Your commitment to providing safe, reliable water and wastewater services is essential to the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

One of the greatest privileges of serving as your President is the opportunity to travel throughout Texas and spend time with our members. Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the North Central Texas RegionalSchool in Arlington. As always, the training, networking, and fellowship were outstanding. I especially enjoyed visiting with everyone at their 4th Annual Utility Industry

Appreciation Night. Events like these remind us that while training and education are critical to our success, building relationships and recognizing the people who make our industry strong is equally important.

Throughout this year, I have had the privilege of attending regional schools across Texas, including thePanhandle Regional School, the Southeast Texas Regional School in Beaumont, the Central West TexasRegional School in Abilene, and now North Central Texas in Arlington. Each region brings its own unique culture and strengths, but they all share the same commitment to excellence, education, and service.

As I write this message, I am preparing to attend the Central Texas Regional School in Killeen. I am looking forward to spending time with members during the Meet & Greet as well as the Cornhole and Darts Tournament. These gatherings provide a great opportunity to connect with members outside the classroom setting, strengthen relationships, and celebrate the fellowship that has always been at the heart of TWUA.

Of course, the highlight of the summer is just around the corner. Our Annual School will be held in Waco beginning July 27, 2026, and I encourage every member to make plans to attend. The Annual School represents the very best of what TWUA has to offer—highquality training, industry-leading instructors, valuable networking opportunities, and the chance to reconnect with friends and colleagues from across the state.

If you have not yet registered, I encourage you to do so

today. Whether you are attending for continuing education, certification opportunities, leadership development, or simply to connect with fellow professionals, the Annual School offers something for everyone. I look forward to seeing you there and continuing the conversations that help make our association stronger.

Education remains the foundation of TWUA’s mission. Every certification earned, every class completed, and every lesson shared contributes to a safer and more resilient water and wastewater industry. As Texas continues to grow, the need for trained and knowledgeable professionals becomes even more important.Through our regional schools, district programs, and Annual School, TWUA remains committed to providing the education and resources necessary for success.

Beyond technical training, TWUA continues to thrive because of member engagement. The volunteers, instructors, district officers, regional leadership teams, vendors, and countless members who dedicate their time and talents to this association are the reason for our success. Your willingness to serve ensures thatTWUA remains one of the strongest and most respected utility associations in the country.

I encourage every member to find ways to become involved. Attend a district meeting. Volunteer at a school. Mentor a new operator. Join a committee. Share your experiences with others. The future of our association depends on members who are willing to invest in the next generation of water and wastewater professionals.

As we continue through 2026, our theme remains as relevant as ever: Communicate Better, EngageDeeper, and Live in Balance. These words are more than a slogan; they represent a roadmap for personal and professional growth. By communicating openly, engaging actively, and maintaining balance in our lives, we strengthen ourselves, our organizations, and our communities.

TWUA has always been grounded in the values of God, Family, and Profession. Those principles continue to guide us today. The work we do is important, but it is the people around us who make that work meaningful. I encourage each of you to take time this summer to appreciate your families, support your colleagues, and celebrate the impact you make every day.

Thank you for your dedication to TWUA and to the communities you serve. I look forward to seeing many of you in Killeen and, most importantly, in Waco on July 27th. Register today, and I’ll see you there!

God bless you, your families, and the important work you do.

Father, we acknowledge you and bow our heads in respect as we humbly say thank You, and proclaim that You are the creator. We take comfort in knowing that You remain in charge and in control of life as we understand it. We need You, and we welcome You, in all we do. We come into Your presence seeking Your grace, calm, guidance, and forgiveness. Father, we pray for Your mercy and Your grace as we ask that You guide, direct, protect, and bless TWUA and its members. Father, thank you as we offer praise in the name of Jesus. Amen

The drought remains a concern in parts of Texas. While some areas are experiencing rain, many watersheds still remain dry, and reservoirs remain low. In West Texas, Lake Spence is at 11.3 % ( 0.0 %), White River is at 27.5 % (+ 1.8 %), and in the Panhandle, Lake Meredith is at 44.0 % (-0.5 %). Greenbelt is at 6.5 % (+ 3.7 %).

some, the drought has never truly ended.

We are proud to report that the North Central Texas (Arlington) Regional training events was a success. The board did a great job. For those with immediate training needs, the Central Texas (Killeen) Region is June 9th 2026. The boards appreciate all the support and hopes to assist with your operator training needs.

The Central Texas (Killeen) Region is the week of June 9th, 2026, and the board extends a hearty welcome and encourages you to consider their regional event for your training needs.

The Central Office continues to receive inquiries about RESILIENCY TRAINING. Resilience emerged after Winter Storm Uri exposed vulnerabilities in some entities. TCEQ enacted rule changes to bring these vulnerabilities and needs to the forefront of Public Water Supplies. Every Water Operator (and those new to water) MUST complete an approved two-hour resiliency overview training session. This overview is essential for renewing, advancing, or obtaining a new license. Confusion seems to stem from future license renewals. The current rule states that each time a water license is renewed, a resiliency training class must be completed during the three-year period the license is in effect. The resiliency training must come from a different module. In other words, there are six modules, and operators are credited only once per module. An operator can take all modules back-to-back and receive training credit. However, when the water license renews, the operator will be tasked with finding a training course from a different source, such as NIMS.

The Story Goes Something Like This –

Life Is Not Measured by How Long We Live, but by How Well We Use the Time We Are Given.

Every person is given the same 1,440 minutes each day,

yet tomorrow is promised to no one. There is no guarantee how many days they will receive. Some live for many decades, while others leave this world far too soon. Because of this, the true measure of a life cannot be found merely in its length, but in its purpose, impact, and meaning.

A long life without purpose can leave little behind. Conversely, a shorter life filled with love, service, courage, and integrity can influence generations. History is filled with individuals whose years were limited, yet whose contributions continue to inspire long after they are gone.

Understanding that our time is finite changes our perspective. It encourages us to invest in relationships rather than possessions, character rather than reputation, and service rather than self-interest. It reminds us to speak words of encouragement, to forgive, to pursue worthy goals, and to spend time with those we love.

Too often people postpone their dreams, assuming there will always be another tomorrow. They plan to take the trip, make the phone call, mend the relationship, or pursue their passion “someday.” Yet someday is not promised. The awareness that life is temporary can become a powerful motivation to live intentionally today.

At the end of life, few people wish they had spent more time worrying, complaining, or accumulating more things. Most reflect on the people they loved, the lives they touched, the challenges they overcame, and the difference they made. Their greatest treasures are often memories, relationships, and acts of kindness (expecting nothing in return).

The value of life is not counted in years but in moments that mattered. It is found in the encouragement given to a struggling friend, the sacrifice made for family, the integrity maintained when compromise would have been easier, and the service offered to others.

Life is a gift measured not by its duration but by its contribution. Therefore, live with purpose, love generously, serve faithfully, and make every day count. For when our time is finished, the question will not be how long we lived, but how well we used the time we were given.

As Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption put it – “Get busy living or get busy dying”. Life is a choice between actively pursuing dreams, hope, growth, and purpose—or passively giving up and letting circumstances define you.

Stay Safe, and Remember – we do not need all the operators in Texas to be members of TWUA – JUST YOU! ! !

GOVERNMENT DOESN’T HAVE A TRAINING GAP. IT HAS A TRANSFER GAP

simply delivering training to intentionally supporting learning

Here are five strategies that can help close the gap between training and workplace performance.

1. Align Learning to Operational Challenges

Training should begin with the business problem, not the

Before designing or delivering learning, What workplace challenge are we trying What behaviors need to change?

What would success look like operationally?

Learning becomes far more meaningful when employees clearly understand how it connects to mission outcomes, collaboration, service delivery, leadership effectiveness, or

2. Equip Managers to Reinforce Learning

Managers play a critical role in whether learning survives

Employees are more likely to apply new skills encourage experimentation create opportunities for practice model the behaviors themselves

Without reinforcement, even strong learning experiences can fade quickly under daily workplace pressures.

(continued on page 10)

(continued from page 9)

Learning transfer is not solely the learner’s responsibility. Leadership support matters.

3. Design for Application, Not Information Overload

Too often, training programs prioritize content coverage over practical application.

Employees do not need more information. They need opportunities to:

• practice

• reflect

• discuss

• solve problems

• apply learning to real workplace situations

Sometimes, less content with deeper application creates a greater impact than attempting to cover everything at once.

Designing for participation is just as important as designing the content itself.

4. Create Cultures Where Learning Feels Safe

One of the biggest barriers to workplace learning is fear. Employees may hesitate to:

• ask questions

• admit mistakes

• practice new skills

• offer ideas

• challenge existing approaches

When people fear embarrassment, criticism, or negative consequences, learning becomes performative instead of transformational.

Organizations that strengthen psychological safety create environments where employees feel more comfortable learning, growing, and contributing openly.

5. Measure More Than Attendance

Completion rates and satisfaction surveys only tell part of the story.

• Agencies should also examine:

• behavior changes

• collaboration improvements

• leadership effectiveness

• employee confidence

• knowledge sharing

• operational impact over time

The goal is not simply to prove that training occurred. The goal is to determine whether workplace performance improved as a result.

Government workforce development is evolving rapidly. Agencies are being asked to build adaptable, collaborative, and resilient workforces while navigating constant change and increasing complexity.

Training alone cannot accomplish that mission.

However, intentionally connecting learning experiences to culture, leadership, application, and performance can help organizations create a more meaningful and sustainable impact.

The future of workforce development is not just about delivering learning. It is about helping the learning live beyond the classroom.

DEALING WITH DIFFICULT STAFF: A LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE

AND OPPORTUNITY

Every organization, regardless of size or industry, will eventually encounter difficult staff members. In public utilities, private businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations, leaders and supervisors must learn how to address challenging employee behaviors while maintaining productivity, morale, and professionalism. Dealing with difficult staff is one of the most demanding aspects of leadership, yet it is also one of the most important. How leaders respond to difficult employees can have a significant impact on workplace culture, team performance, and organizational success.

The first step in dealing with difficult staff is understanding that difficult behavior can take many forms. Some employees may be argumentative and resistant to change. Others may display negative attitudes, gossip excessively, miss deadlines, refuse accountability, or create conflict among coworkers. Some may appear disengaged, unmotivated, or unwilling to follow procedures. While these behaviors can be frustrating, effective leaders recognize that the behavior itself is often a symptom of a deeper issue.

Before taking corrective action, supervisors should seek to understand the root cause of the problem. Employees may be struggling with personal challenges, unclear expectations, inadequate training, workplace

stress, or dissatisfaction with their role. In some cases, what appears to be defiance may actually be confusion or a lack of confidence. Taking the time to listen and understand the employee’s perspective can help leaders address the real issue rather than merely treating the symptoms.

Communication is one of the most powerful tools available to leaders dealing with difficult staff. Problems rarely improve when ignored. Avoiding difficult conversations often allows issues to grow larger and more disruptive over time. Effective supervisors address concerns promptly, privately, and professionally. The goal should not be to criticize the employee but rather to discuss specific behaviors and their impact on the team or organization.

For example, instead of saying, “You have a bad attitude,” a supervisor might say, “I’ve noticed several occasions where negative comments during meetings have discouraged team discussions.” Focusing on observable behaviors rather than personal traits helps keep the conversation objective and productive. Employees are more likely to respond positively when they feel they are being treated fairly and respectfully.

(continued on page 12)

(continued from page 11)

Clear expectations are equally important. Employees cannot be held accountable for standards that have never been clearly communicated. Leaders should ensure that job responsibilities, performance expectations, workplace policies, and behavioral standards are understood by all staff members. When expectations are clearly defined, it becomes easier to address performance issues and measure improvement.

Consistency is another critical leadership principle. Difficult employees quickly notice when rules are applied unevenly. If one employee is allowed to arrive late repeatedly while others are disciplined for the same behavior, resentment and morale problems are likely to develop. Consistent enforcement of policies helps establish credibility and trust. Employees may not always agree with decisions, but they are more likely to respect leaders who are fair and consistent.

Documentation is often overlooked but can be invaluable when managing difficult staff. Supervisors should maintain accurate records of performance concerns, coaching sessions, attendance issues, and disciplinary actions. Documentation provides a factual basis for discussions and helps ensure decisions are based on evidence rather than emotion. It also protects both the employee and the organization if further action becomes necessary.

Leaders should also recognize the importance of positive reinforcement. While difficult employees often require corrective feedback, supervisors should not overlook opportunities to acknowledge improvement and success. People generally respond better when their efforts are recognized. A sincere compliment for improved performance or a positive attitude can reinforce desired behaviors and encourage continued growth.

Patience plays a vital role as well. Behavioral change rarely occurs overnight. Employees may need time, coaching, and support to develop new habits and attitudes. Effective leaders balance accountability with encouragement, helping employees succeed while maintaining appropriate standards. However, patience

should not be confused with tolerance of ongoing misconduct. If an employee refuses to improve despite coaching, training, and support, stronger corrective action may become necessary.

Team dynamics should also be considered. One difficult employee can negatively impact the entire workforce. Chronic negativity, conflict, or poor performance can lower morale and reduce productivity among otherwise dedicated employees. Leaders have a responsibility not only to the individual employee but also to the team as a whole. Addressing problems promptly demonstrates commitment to maintaining a healthy and productive work environment.

Perhaps the most important quality for leaders dealing with difficult staff is professionalism. Emotional reactions, public criticism, sarcasm, or personal attacks rarely solve problems. Professional leaders remain calm, respectful, and focused on solutions even when dealing with challenging situations. They understand that leadership is not about winning arguments but about guiding people toward better performance and behavior.

Ultimately, dealing with difficult staff is not simply about correcting problems—it is about developing people. Some of the most valuable employees in an organization may have experienced periods of struggle before receiving the guidance, coaching, and support needed to succeed. Effective leaders view difficult situations as opportunities to mentor, teach, and improve both individuals and the organization.

When handled with fairness, consistency, communication, and professionalism, difficult employee situations can often be transformed into success stories. While not every outcome will be perfect, leaders who address challenges directly and constructively create stronger teams, healthier workplaces, and more successful organizations. The true measure of leadership is not how we manage easy situations, but how we respond when people and circumstances become difficult.
