You can review last year's data, update it, and submit your report online.
Why Equipment Reporting Matters
Equipment reporting is very important for AWO and its members.
- It helps set fair dues: AWO uses your equipment data to calculate dues and assessments across the membership that support the association’s work.
- It keeps the industry strong: When we talk to the government or the public, we need to show how big and important our industry is. Your data helps us prove that we are a powerful force for the American economy.
- It helps AWO provide your company with better support: Knowing what equipment is operating helps AWO plan the best ways to keep our waterways safe and sustainable.
In short, your report helps AWO work for you.
