Fall 2011
It is hard to believe how quickly time is passing but now is the time to start thinking about and planning to attend the 94th Annual School. We know and understand that you have choices and limitations as far as operator training is concerned - we ask that you consider Corpus March 5th and come be a part of TWUA Annual School.
The association has negotiated the best possible room rates with the Omni Bayfront Hotel and in order to do so; TWUA had to sign a binding contract guaranteeing rooms. The Omni Bayfront will be the host hotel and this is where the Last Board Meeting, Opening Session, Awards and Reception, Casino night, and most of the events are held so if you can us this facility for your housing needs. If you receive an error message or anything that says the room block is full or rooms are not available; please call Central Office before you book at another facility. Sometimes it is simply a computer issue that can be resolved.
We are very happy to have a new look on the associations’ website. If you have not looked at all the links, we encourage you to take a few minutes and explore. You will find an electronic version of the monthly Journal. You will find an area for suggested training classes or career path suggestions; and that is a work in progress. There should be more to enhancements coming to this area. We have a current articles type area at the bottom of the home page. We will be adding a “chat room” and trying to provide a forum for members and operators to ask questions and share knowledge. We hope you like the new look and would appreciate your feedback and comments.
TWUA is in the final phase of being ready to submit to TCEQ our Computer Based Training Program for approval. As soon as we can demonstrate that all aspects of our proposed electronic training performs to their satisfaction, we will begin hosting operator training online. This has been an interesting process and we feel confident that you find the final product appealing.
